About me



Hi I'm Richard!



That’s me below with a Cuban mango. I have always been a curious fellow, and through my experiences as a musician and involvement in the church, I have had the privilege of traveling around the world and experiencing many diverse cultures. Whether it be marveling at the enormity of the Great Wall of China, eating delicious mangos in Cuba, or bonding with fellow musicians in Korea, I wake up every day to meet new people and explore the diverse cultures of the world. Nonetheless, I still like to think of myself as naïve and young, inexperienced in the history and traditions of different peoples.

I'm Richard!

Community Services

Project Healing Music

Project Healing Music was a FBLA sponsored community service project dedicated to using music to help the community, primarily to combat the effects of dementia in older citizens.

Our main focus in creating this project was to recruit musicians from the area to play for hospitals and residential homes in the area.

The project was awarded 6th place in the community service category at the 2018 FBLA state conference. You can see our project report below.
