He received his undergraduate degree in Science (Honours) from York University, and then went on to receive (concurrently) an undergraduate degree in Complementary Medicine from Charles Sturt University in Australia (DE) and an Honours diploma in Acupuncture from the Michener Institute for Applied Health Sciences in Toronto. Richard interned at the Wasser Pain Management Clinic at Mt. Sinai Hospital and in the acupuncture clinic at St. John’s Rehabilitation Centre.

He has spent most of his adult life in the St. Clair West community, and is now raising his two children with his wife Rachel just a few streets away from Yellow Gazebo. With a life-long passion for healing, Richard dreamed for many years about starting a clinic like Yellow Gazebo Natural Health Care. Richard plans to use his good fortune to help further the ever-growing development of the St. Clair West area, and to develop the clinic into a true center for complementary health care in the community.
