Richie grew up in the Muay Thai / Martial Arts Scene in New Zealand and trained with the who's who of the sport. After a successful career he moved into the world of coaching and passing on the many lessons he has learnt from training and competing. Since competing he has been on a journey of self discovery having faced some of the hardest and darkest points of his life. He now uses those times along with the memories and experiences of a challenging childhood in his career as a public speaker where he educates listeners about addiction, mental health issues along with family & gendered violence.
