Richard Gage is a San Francisco Bay Area architect of 30 years, member of the American Institute of Architects, and founder and CEO of Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth. During his architectural career, Gage has worked on most types of building construction, including numerous fire-proofed, steel-framed buildings.

Gage began his quest for the truth about the collapse of the WTC high-rises after hearing on the radio the startling conclusions of reluctant 9/11 researcher David Ray Griffin. Since founding AE911Truth, he has delivered his live multimedia presentation 9/11: Blueprint for Truth more than 550 times in dozens of foreign countries and 110 American cities to audiences ranging in size from 100 to 4,000. He has appeared in more than 600 radio and television interviews.

His most recent project, before making AE911Truth his full-time endeavor, was working on the construction documents for a $400M mixed-use urban project with 1.2 million square feet of retail, 320,000 square feet of mid-rise office space and parking structure — altogether consisting of about 1,200 tons of steel framing.
