Richard is one of the hardest working people when he sets his mind to something. He has done a variety of non-architecture jobs in-between long stints at a few central Texas-based architecture firms. After a brief stint in Costa Rica working on a farm, his eyes were opened to a healthier way of living and he is thinking about leaving architecture for fire fighting because it offers physical exercise and being outdoors more than sitting in the office from 9-5. Richard’s story is an inside look at exploring careers outside of architecture.
