The details of my life are quite inconsequential… very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. Ok, so maybe that’s not completely true. At least the part about him being my father is true. He owned a hardware store in Sacramento, CA, where I was born. I spent most of my young life there, before the business went under thanks to all of the discount hardware shops (Home Depot and Lowes). So if you shop there thank you for ruining the family business. Actually, I meant that. I didn’t want to get into the hardware racket anyway, but if I had a hammer, I’d hammer danger all over this land. My Mother was a refugee from the land of Hasselhoff, Germany. She ran from her homeland to take advantage of this country’s lack of Fanta (great, its over here now and big time as the official Gap drink Watch the commercials before a theatrical release to understand that one), and the freedom to watch reruns of Knight Rider. My folks split up and I had a fairly dysfunctional upbringing so I was perfectly geared towards eventually having a comedy themed show later. I’ve lived in North Carolina quite a few times, and this latest time the longest. I’ve lived on the West Coast, the East Coast, perhaps one day the Mid-East Coast, but we all have dreams. But enough about Little Richard, now more about Big Richard.
Having been told that I have a face for audio for years, I finally realized the medium I needed to conquer. After creating my own Internet Radio Show, and then bringing on Earl Newton (Southern Ronin.com) after the previous cohosts (Ron and Janine Garner) moved away, I began to appear in various audio dramas, soon taking the lead in a few. I then began a new series, taking advantage of the writing styles of friend Davey Beauchamp (Amazing Pulp Adventures), as well as Thurman Blizzard (Campfire Tales).

Various audio skits and dramas have been heard on ChronoRadio, Star Wars and Beyond, SwitchedOn Show and Dragon Pages’ Wingin’ It syndicated show, of which I am very proud. As if this, three gorgeous kids and a job as a technical illustrator wasn’t enough, I also create websites for all said projects, write for and announce at an independent wrestling federation, plus have the script for a comicbook, shortfilms, and an eventual webcomic sitting on my desk waiting to be made.
In my spare time, I sleeps. I can be reached by my shiny email address: rotooutcast@gmail.com
