Richard was raised in isolation and detachment on a large cattle ranch in California. His parents were distracted by affairs and alcoholism. He was sexually abused as a child, a shame he did not reveal to any soul for over 50 years. He barely graduated high school and ended up working in a chicken factory.
Richard found network marketing as a financial opportunity but inside network marketing he found mentoring, coaching and the journey of transformational development….changing one’s stories and beliefs to change one’s actions and results. He went from an introverted angry, cynical loner to enrolling over 100 sales leaders and building a team of 30,000 active brand partners. He was earning $40,000 a month by the time he was 28 ( 1980).
He acquired a small failing network marketing company in 1985 and built it into an award winning, highly respected top 100 company. Richard is one of two network marketers ever to be featured on the cover of Success Magazine ( March 1992)
He is the author of Mach 2 with Your Hair on Fire, The New Entrepreneurs, Visionaries for the 21st Century and The Four Year Career, the Promise of Network Marketing.
Richard has coached Hall of Fame athletes, Billionaires, CEO’s and many 7 figure earning sales leaders. But his passion is helping those that are struggling to break out of their self imposed bondage beliefs and bust into momentum with a new story, new identity and new found personal and spiritual power.
Richard lives on the island of Lanai, Hawaii with his wife Kimmy.
