Richard was born and raised on Long Island, and all his life, he's been a nut for animation. As a young lad, he showed strong talents in art and storytelling, and as he entered his teens, he began to thorughly research the production process and techniques of the old masters. In 2019, Richard gradated from the animation program at F.I.T. in New York, where he made a charming thesis film that delivered big laughs from every audience it was played for. He's since managed to land a couple of animation gigs, all the while working to improve his craft, learn new softwares, and understand of what other artists have to do to create the great stories of today.
