Richard is a dynamic & inspirational speaker & has been invited to do presentations to numerous of my classes at the University of Saskatchewan an the St. Thomas More College. I introduce him as the 'Guardian Angel' of the inner city youth and many of my students are often in tears when they hear about the horrific lives that some of the children have to experience on a regular basis.

I have had the hard times in my life and Rick helped me remember that I have so much I can give others by helping them know that they are not alone and can get through this.

I have had the privilege of hearing your touching story twice now. Every time I hear it you fill my heart. You continue to inspire me and others around you because of what you have become ... a phoenix rising out of the ashes.

Rick's presentation was one of the most eye opening experiences of my life.
