Richard-Curtis

Born in Billings, MT on a cold snowy night to nomadic parents after way too many hours of labor -- I grew up in numerous places all over the continental United States before finally settling in Denver over 24 years ago -- because I'd "…never been there before..."

A vocalist and musical theater actor in high school and college, I was blessed with the opportunity of performing as a vocalist with the Miss Montana Pageant for over 6 years and traveling on a USO tour to VA hospitals. Since college, I've been involved with pursuing various ventures that "pay the bills" -- while still performing and continuing to explore my creative muses...

I'm currently a hypnotherapist and live in Denver with my significant other of over 22 years (without whose love, support and encouragement -- life's journey would be a lot more challenging -- Love ya sweetums!) We are joined on our journey through life by our four-legged companion Sasha, she is constantly reminding us that "it's really all about here and NOW!"

Goals: I want to seize the opportunities that Life and the Universe provide and arrive at the end of life completely satisfied that I've experienced all I was meant to experience and accomplished all that I was meant to accomplish in this lifetime... To positively impact the lives of everyone I hold near and dear to me -- it's a ponderously long list -- but y'all know who you are!!! To be a guide to those who want to transform portions of their lives, so they can achieve their full potential. To entertain and allow others to escape the realities of everyday life, if even for a brief moment...

Interests: Music (composing, vocal performance, listening); audio/video editing and recording; drawing/sketching; writing; collecting old movies (30's, 40's & 50's genres); Disney & Warner Brothers cartoons; walking with the four-legged companion.... there are a lot of other things that I enjoy too, just not enough room to list them all!!!
