Richard has been the director of New Life since 1993. He began attending classes in 1975 and moved to Boulder City, Nevada from Dallas, Texas in 1977. He worked closely with Vernon Howard and others in the running of New Life. He actually lived at the New Life building in Boulder City where he was given many responsibilities. Vernon Howard was very tough on him in order to give him the greatest opportunity for discovering something higher. He is very grateful for the guidance he was given even though it was very difficult at times. The false self is not going to give up easily and it takes many years of hard work to begin to understand the deeper meanings of these teachings. But it’s all worth it for the pearl of great price.
