He is a Vietnam veteran and was awarded the Airforce Commendation Medal. He graduated with Bachelor of Science Degree from Bemidji State College with a major in “Geography” and a minor in “Earth Science.” He holds an Airline Transport Pilot rating and retired as a Captain for Continental Airlines.
Due to being on the move in his traveling profession, Richard studied to earn post grad degrees through distance learning and received Masters and Doctorate Degrees in “Theology” from Columbia State University of Louisiana, and Masters and Doctorate Degrees in “Religious Studies” from Hamilton University of Wyoming. Both universities had accreditation problems within the United States and shut down. Hamilton moved off shore to the Bahamas and changed its name. Richard now holds little importance to what he was initially told were fully accredited degrees. He says it doesn’t matter. Belief, faith and trust in the Lord do matter.
Richard also has a diploma as a “Graduate of Biblical Studies” from the Institute of Biblical Studies of Liberty University. Richard is the author of “The Ark, A Reality?” and “Quest for Discovery.” He was also one of the contributing authors to “Explorers of Ararat.” In addition he has written “Pain and Purpose in the Pacific” which is a report of WWII in the Pacific and personal interviews with veterans of the battles.
Richard is a veteran of more than 40 trips into Turkey, and one trip into each of the bordering countries of Azerbaijan, Nakhchivan, Iran. He has visited Georgia on two occasions. As of the year 2021 he has for the past 38 years been on a mission to research, search, locate, and document the location of the remains of Noah’s ark. This “THE ARK DISCOVERIES” book is part of the search for truth regarding the history of the earth, the education of today and the direction we take in our lives. It asks questions.
Richard is the husband of Danielle, and the father of one daughter Courtney. About himself he says: “I’m just a retired airline pilot who seeks to fulfill what I believe to be my purpose, has written a few books, climbed a mountain a few times, believes in, and loves the Lord.”visualizza meno
