Richard spends much of his time working with local youth in the performing arts sector of the community. As the Orchestral Musical Director, and an accomplished pianist, his present and past affiliations include: MTA – Musical Theatre Academy of Orange County (his ‘home’ company), Broadway on Tour, OCHSA – Orange County High School of the Arts, KidSingers Performing Group, Valley High School, One More Productions, to name a few. Richard has composed two full length musicals of his own, and has the greatest hope that one of tomorrow’s stars will remember him when they make it to Broadway!
