Richard grew up in Northern Wisconsin. He worked very hard at not being noticed in school but always wanted to be on camera. Rich wanted to be a Talk Show Host since he was12. It was first seeing Rosie O'Donnell's show in 1997 that sparked this love and he hasn't stopped since. He attended UW-Milwaukee for college, which took him 5 years to get a Theatre Degree because he was busy ....socializing. Not knowing how to become a Host after college, Rich started hosting live trivia games in bars and restaurants around Milwaukee.
Then it happened.....he was asked to host his own show on Milwaukee Public Television in 2011. That show won an award! Rich began working with the arts-in-health nonprofit, Hearts Need Art: Creative Support for Patients and Caregivers. He works with adult patients, their loved ones and medical staff to bring moments of joy, creativity and self-expression through art, music and writing programs.
