After being evicted from his luxury home and losing all his assets when his business failed, Richard found himself living in a beat-up van with his dog, Willow. He relied on food banks like the Bremerton Foodline and had breakfast each morning at the Salvation Army. It was during this time that Richard wrote "Breakfast at Sally’s" on a second-hand typewriter.
Today, Richard is a published writer and a passionate advocate for the homeless. He is a public speaker and serves as a volunteer and board member for not only the Bremerton Foodline and Salvation Army, but also for many other crucial community resource organizations.
