His
tenacity to get things done and his leadership style are his key
strengths as well as logistical skills to ensure a smooth running
of any business he has worked for.
He is a keen runner having completed 7 Marathons, 50+ half
marathons and countless 10k races. He has been an approved
motorcycle instructor, drummer and keen gardener.
Richards’s
main hobby is scuba diving, achieving the level of Master Scuba
Diver. During the past 10 years he has made several underwater
video documentaries including all the research, filming, editing
and narration. He is also passionate about the underwater
environment. It was his work as an underwater cameraman that led
him to be introduced to the Island Hoppers. His offer to do some
underwater filming for the crew was eagerly
accepted.
Since
spending more time with the crew he saw an opportunity to help the
guys create the Australian Series of Chasing the Horizons. As
General Manager Richard runs the day to day business operations of
the journey.
He
also has the unenviable task of trying to keep the crew focused, on
time and well prepared for the rigorous journey. Richard will
accompany the crew for underwater filming and to keep the crew on
track.
Richard will also have the task of keeping the crew fit (not much
chance of that!).
His
dream has always been to be involved in the creation of a TV series
and now his dream is becoming a reality, but as a crew, we are not
sure he knows what he has let himself into, as we can be a little
difficult to control at times!!!!
Richard’s
favourite quote:
“A bad day underwater is better than a good day in the
office”.
