I am a life long teacher. How so? I taught high school history and psychology for 15 years. Started a small independent school for middle school kids which lasted for two fun years. Was manager of a technical training department for a high tech company for eight years.  Most recently I have been a consultant to high tech companies, conducting train the trainer workshops for the last 16 years.  In between the day job activities, I also taught in church, mentored some in the network marketing company that we had associated with, and now enjoy teaching my grandson the joys of the Hardy Boys, among other things.

My family has nicknamed me "Richarto" as I like things reduced to its simplest form - charts.  In my train the trainer classes, I have always stressed the same thing: task analysis.  Keep it step by step.

At root, my life is about family, mystery stories and chocolate.
