  • For many years, Richard was a hardcore audiophile and even started a business that produced interconnect and speaker cables. Nowadays, he just streams audio like everyone else.
  • He owned his first car before he was old enough to drive. His eclectic tastes range from a mild infatuation with C3 Corvettes to Jeep Wranglers to German marques like Porsche and BMW. His wife was relieved when he branched out into collecting wristwatches because they take up much less space than cars.
  • Richard is a prolific traveler and has visited over 35 countries. Some of his most memorable experiences include going on Safari in South Africa, hiking Huayna Picchu in Peru, and a helicopter tour of Franz Josef Glacier in New Zealand.
