Richard J. McCollough, M.Ed.
Award Winning Producer/Director/Videographer/Journalist
Broadcast Meteorologist

I lost both parents tragically & suddenly to cancer by the time I was 12 years old. I was an orphan along with my siblings. However, they taught us to read, write, stay in school, stay out of trouble, work hard and contribute to society. I want this message to resonate with young people around the world. -Richard J.
