Previously conservator at Tryon Palace for over 12 years specializing in furniture, metals, ceramics & glass, outdoor sculpture, general collections care and exhibit work. Day to day work takes place in conservation lab, two museum buildings, five historic house museums, library, three additional historic house properties, cemetery, and decorative grounds and gardens. Now residing in Knoxville, Tennessee I am open to private conservation work for interested museums or individuals. As a hobbyist woodworker, I design and build puzzle boxes and puzzle cabinets. They are featured on my YouTube channel Richo Woodworking. I also enjoy landscape painting and mechanical puzzles.
