Richard was born and bred in Worcester and went to school there before going on to university where he read Physics. Richard mainly worked in management consultancy until 2011 when he started theological training at Ripon College, Cuddesdon.

He served his curacy in a benefice of seven parishes in rural South Shropshire and is keen that the church should be seen as a key part of communal life and not something done just on Sundays

Richard is married to Collette and they have four children. He particularly enjoys cricket and rugby.
