Richard has been speaking on the creation/evolution issue since 1994 and involved
with a creation-oriented ministry in Canada since 1996. The Canadian office of Creation
Ministries International began as a room in his home in late 1998. As a
speaker, he is known for his easy-to-understand scientific presentations. He was
driven to get involved with creation ministry primarily because of the influence
that creation materials and resources had on his own faith and his walk with Christ.
Richard's professional training is in electronics. He has worked on advanced communication
satellite systems at Com Dev, a world leader in this field. Shortly before working
in creation ministry full-time in 1999, he worked at Raytheon Canada and was involved
in the early testing phases of the first all-digital radar system. He is now CEO
of CMI–Canada and co-host CMI’s TV show Creation Magazine Live!
Richard and his family live in Kitchener, Ontario.
