About Me

I strive to live my dream every day - and my biggest dream is to make a difference in whatever I put my energy towards.

I provide life coaching and motivational speaking throughout the country (http://richarddedor.com/coaching).

My career focus is simply to work with a forward thinking company where I can offer my business skills, project management and creative experiences to aid the company mission while learning something new every day.

Anything is Possible!
