Richard took to writing since he was a teenager, something that was inspired by a great teacher who saw his writing potential and empowered him to write an essay each day bordering on various subjects. This act of empowerment is what motivated and inspired him to also become a teacher, to teach others and help them realize their potentials. He believes that in whatever language one chooses as a means of communication, one of the best ways to be a master of that language is by teaching it to others, and especially to those learning it as a second language. And as someone who has risen to the status of providing content for national television, Richard always insists on the speaking of good English and is himself an instrument of this change.
