Brief Bio

Born and raised in the St. Louis, MO area, Richard received his first console (the NES) at the age of six, and from that point on games have been an integral part of his life, whether it's been frittering summers away with the likes of Mario, Mega Man, and the Zerg or partaking in marathon sessions of Halo, Team Fortress 2 or Left 4 Dead. After writing some freelance articles for various other (defunct) websites, Richard joined the GameCritics.com staff in March of 2009.

His gaming interests have grown to be fairly eclectic, ranging from 2D platformers to old-school-style adventure games to RPGs to first-person shooters. So in other words, he’ll play pretty much anything.

Richard is currently a computer programmer by day, and in his spare time he can usually be found playing games (obviously), writing, going to the gym, or watching Cardinals baseball.
