Sourced verbatim from the candidate's website.
My wife Pam and I bought our home in the Bon Air area over 25 years ago where our son, Stephen, grew up. I earned my B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Kentucky and I am a licensed Professional Engineer. My engineering career has taken me to various positions in manufacturing, processing, and construction industries, including 16 years as the Plant Engineer for a large manufacturing facility in Richmond. Also, shipbuilding test engineer, maintenance supervisor, wastewater treatment design, mechanical design, project management, construction inspection/commissioning. This is the real world where we make useful things, make food, and make things work. I managed high-level regulatory compliance to ensure the law was followed and the environment protected. It is and has been a great privilege to work with a range of conscientious skilled people including the plant floor, tradesmen, management, legal compliance specialists, scientists, safety professionals, maintenance experts, and engineers of all disciplines.
Richard and his family have lived in Bon Air for over 25 years. He will represent you as your Delegate for a better 77th and a better Virginia.
