He tailored his message in a way that really resonated with out people and was integral in the delivery of our overall message." "Richard's story was so powerful that In a room of over 600 blue collar roads and construction workers, you could hear a pin drop."Feedback on school presentations:"As a high school teacher for over twenty years, I’ve never seen a presentation impact my students like this one did. It inspired them, gave them hope and empowered them with a sense of true purpose to move forward with their lives." Senior Teacher, Capitol High School, Washington"Some students told me that their palms were sweating because of the intensity of Richard's story. Richard's analogies were applicable to all of the students. They came away with a better understanding of not only being able to identify their own "lions" in their own lives but also ways to overcome them and use them as growth opportunities." Senior teacher, Kentucky Day School, Kentucky"Richard's presentation was truly inspirational. Listening to him retell his story I was mesmerized by his vulnerability. It showed me that no matter how devastating an event may be, its not impossible to pick yourself up and make something out of it." Senior student, Capitol High School, Washington

At African Family Safaris we tailor the ultimate family adventures to the most remote and beautiful wildlife areas of Africa. Using knowledge gained over the last 20 years of exploring and guiding safaris through Africa's wild places, I understand what makes a great safari experience. I also love Africa and I care deeply that people have experiences that are worthy of this great continent. Safety is always paramount, and accommodation is tailored to suit your particular travel style. Please feel free to get in touch to find out more about what is definitely the ultimate family holiday.

My role with Epic was to talk to assist people in having the ultimate African safari. I would spend time talking with couples, groups and families interested in going on safari and then tailor an itinerary that perfectly suited their needs. I would generally spend two to three months of the year in Africa either guiding safaris or investigating new camps and safari areas.

Guiding small groups through the wilds of northern Botswana. The role was a mix of finding wildlife, communicating about the wildlife and managing guests. Ultimately it was about creating an immersive experience where people left feeling connected to the wild places of northern Botswana.
