A contributing editor for Wired, Richard has written for Time, The Atlantic and The Asian Wall Street Journal, not to mention National Fisherman and Inside Triathlon. Since graduating from Yale he’s lived in Paris, Hong Kong, Los Angeles (twice), Washington D.C., Austin, San Antonio, Seattle and San Rafael, California, which pretty much explains why he settled in Boulder three years ago with his wife Shawna and five-year-old son Walker.

"For years every time my life turned upside down I would drive cross-country and stop over in Boulder, where I had friends from high school," Richard says. "So actually stopping and finding a place to live here saved me about 1500 miles of driving. I see New West as a unifying voice for the most dynamic and iconoclastic place left in an increasingly homogenized America."
