From there he went to work as a producer for AOL Time Warner in New Orleans producing a television news magazine on WB/UPN TV called "Where's the music?".

He started directing sketch comedy spoofs, and in 2009, Comcast Communications bought the rights to Ri'chard's sketch of Beyoncé's "Single Ladies". The media giant placed the sketch on its on-demand parody channel in which it garnered a #1 rating.Ri'chard is now at the helm of his own film production company, 3rd Fathom Entertainment, which is an Atlanta-based independent film production company created by Ri'chard and his producing partner Zachary Davis.He graduated from Dillard University in New Orleans, LA where he received his BA in Communications and Film.
