Born in Los Angeles, California, Richard and his family relocated to Atlanta in 2005 and have lived in the area ever since. He began his journey with CCF as an intern while attending Kennesaw State University, gaining valuable knowledge and experience throughout the spring of 2025. After graduating cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Human Services, Richard joined the CCF staff full-time in late May.

As our Operations and Support Specialist, he maintains and updates internal systems, collaborates with staff on grant and scholarship programs, and supports broader team goals as needed. He also helps manage our Foundant CommunitySuite database by maintaining contact lists, creating and editing reports, and assisting with fund-related tasks. Having grown up just down the street from the CCF office, Richard developed a strong connection to the Cobb County community and is passionate about helping the organization better serve its residents.

Richard continues to reside in Cobb County. In his free time, he enjoys movies, golfing, and rarely misses a Falcons game. He also loves to travel and often takes road trips to watch his brother play college soccer.
