During his childhood, Richard was isolated from the world. Dedicating all his time towards training, Richard never had time to go play with friends and experience a true childhood. Being on a strict diet, enforced by his father, Richard was never able to eat junk food or any sweets. Richard recalls days when his father would eat pizza in front him, while he was left to eat a head lettuce. Richard’s father, was taken away from their family after being charged with abuse his mother. Richard claims his father never forced him into bodybuilding "I've never been forced to train or do anything against my will," he said. "My parents used to train all the time and I wanted to join in. It was mostly my choice. It's just what I grew up doing. I was never forced. It was never an issue.".
