Richard Barnet
A former resident of Carson City, Reno, and Sparks, Richard finally saw the error of his ways and moved his family to Sun Valley, Nevada to live the good life. He finds Sun Valley intriguing, and loves this magical place more than words can describe.
Richard, a Scorpio, currently enjoys playing Star Trek Fleet Command, watching 'Rosewood,' 'Shifting Gears,' and 'Brilliant Minds' on Hulu, and listening to diverse genres on Spotify—including classical music. (Whoa.)
Richard loves both Star Trek and Star Wars—equally. He loves using em dashes, and swears by the Oxford comma. His favorite BBQ food is smoked & salted beef brisket, one of his favorite artists is Piet Mondrian, and his Hogwarts house is Ravenclaw.
