His first job was tentering kippers at Ice Atlantic Seafoods, an old world fish factory located beneath the Scalloway Castle on the Blacksness fish pier. Richard and his wife moved to Stonington, Maine in 1997, where he helped to form, and then became the Smoke Master of, one of Maine’s top award-winning smokehouses, Stonington Sea Products, Inc.
