Richard’s career in advertising started in London and has spanned Asia, Australia, and, for the last 30 years, Chicago, California, and New York. His work has received several Cannes Lions (the advertising equivalents of Oscars), and his clients have ranged from airlines to beers, packaged goods to hotel chains, over-the-counter medicines to prescription drugs, and banks to fashion. For the last 18 years, he has worked with the Search Dog Foundation and is proud to have helped raise awareness and money for this very worthy cause. Richard currently lives in Manhattan with his wife Molly and German Shepherd Qlyde. They retreat most weekends to the Berkshire mountains.
