Richard is a shy, quiet, retiring old gentleman who enjoys reading the Sunday paper and watching the football with his two dogs, Toast and Spud. When he's not collecting stamps and old coins Richard enjoys playing lawn bowls and sipping cold ones with his old retired mates. Richards dream is to sail off into the sunset. He enjoys long walks on the beach, sunset cocktails, romantic comedies and spiritual conversations.

I currently work full time as a Project Manager on the Gold Coast. I enjoy paddling as much as I can and am excited to continue competing against some of the best prone paddlers in the world, travel to new places and have fun along the way.
