About Richard

Richard’s advocacy work and contributions to the Hayes Valley, Lower Haight and Western Addition neighborhoods are both extensive and inspiring. His volunteerism continues in full force in 2022. As one of HV Safe’s founders we’re fortunate to be in the presence of his expertise and knowledge of navigating through San Francisco’s governmental agencies in his ongoing effort to seek impactful change at the neighborhood level. He strives in working alongside his fellow neighbors and mentoring whenever possible.

One of Richard’s past dear endeavors was co-founding a group named Community Partners, which was in existence from 2002-2013. Here are a few documents outlining the history of Community Partners mission, efforts and event contributions.

We’re not done outlining all his many accomplishments, and we know he’s not done trailblazing so, check back here as we add more details to this dedicated page.

You can read more about his experience and advocacy via our founders column and weekly podcasts.
