Richard is a Falls Church City resident who spent most of his career working at a laboratory in Washington, DC. He joined the FCVFD as an administrative member in 2018, where he managed the chaos of children’s birthday parties at the fire station—surprisingly good preparation for serving as a trustee from 2019 to 2021.
As the department’s secretary since 2019, Richard’s duties now include writing about himself in the third person. He’s a good example of the type of person you wouldn’t expect to find among firehouse heroes, and he basks in the reflected glory of the department and its dedicated staff.
