Growing up in rural Pennsylvania, Richard was introduced to the harmonica at an early age, hearing it on the street corners of his home town Philipsburg. Playing the Marine Band since age 8, Richard quickly started sketching ideas on how to improve the harmonica. His efforts led to become a student of Joe Filisko and eventually starting his full-time harmonica customization business in 1994.
