In 2005, he and two visionaries created Sonrisas Sin Fronteras Foundation (www.SmilesWithoutBorders.com) which establishes portable dental clinics in Latin American schools. His dream of sustainable dentistry is becoming a reality. He has served in Kenya, Honduras, Russia, Nicaragua, and Mexico. For ten years he was a part-time dental officer for an international cruise line. This assignment, as well as a passion for dentistry, provides many opportunities to write and paint his experiences on six continents. He was an artist-in-residence at Isle Royale National Park in 1996 and at Mesa Verde National Park in 2006. He has written three books and has contributed articles on art and dentistry for national magazines. He is a life member of the International College of Dentists and the American Dental Association. Richard lives in Colorado with his two best fans, his loving wife, Marlene, and dog, Homer.ver menos
