About

Thank you for visiting my project portfolio.
I have always fancied myself a career technologist, designer, and educator; so you can expect to see a lot of that reflected here.

I consider myself incredibly lucky to have found myself being called upon to solve problems and to provide countless solutions. Additionally, I am very thankful for the organizations who have provided decade after decade of opportunities for me to learn and grow; for the leaders who have shaped my trajectory; and for all of my staff who have placed their faith and trust in me to lead them into these challenges.

I hope you enjoy exploring this site.
All the best,
Richard
