In addition, Richard has served as an expert witness in insurance court cases.

Richard teaches more than 50 classes and insurance training programs annually throughout Puerto Rico, the United States, the American Virgin Islands and Mexico. These programs are run by The National Alliance for Insurance Education, Professional Insurance Agents of PR & the Caribbean, and Risk & Insurance Educational Services.
His greatest satisfaction is to have the blessing of having the opportunity to sow the seeds of curiosity and knowledge, at the same time as it feeds from the experience that everybody brings.
