Education

A native of Kinston, North Carolina, Richard was chosen as a teenager to participate in a unique educational program called The "Governor's School of North Carolina". This program was the first of its kind for gifted students in the United States. Every year students compete for one of the precious slots in their artistic or academic field.

Richard received his formal education at North Carolina School of the Arts and Indiana University School of Music where he studied voice with Walter Cassel, a 25-year veteran of the Metropolitan Opera. Richard also studied vocal jazz styles with Eileen Farrell, and coached lieder with John Wustman. Opera roles performed include Count Almaviva in Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro" Papageno in Mozart's "The Magic Flute", and Escamillo in Bizet's "Carmen".
