Bio
Graham Gephart
I hired Richard as a regional speaker/specialist for our Snowshoes.com workshop program with REI in 2011, to deliver workshop presentations in the California region stores. Richard was an eager learner, and gobbled up information and knowledge in our training sessions. He went to great lengths to understand the content and to take his own enthusiast experience of snowshoe and mountain running and relate it to first-time consumers. I brought Richard back for the second year of the program in 2012-13, and he was meticulous in preparation and improvement on year 1, bringing lots of ideas to the content sessions on ways to improve. Richard took on more responsibility with added workshops in OR and NV this year, and the feedback from the REI staff and consumers was very strong. I commend Richard for his hard work, and thank him for helping me grow that program.

Richard was a fair manager that determined what I could handle by myself and then trusted me to fulfill. The trust he imbued in me gave me me the confidence and self esteem to fulfill each task to the fullest. It's hard to imagine another manager that could provoke the same drive to excel.
