Taste in Clothing (when off duty): Casual. Richard can normally be seen wearing the grey, non uniform variant of the current Starfleet designs when off duty. But if he's going to the holodeck? Who knows what time period piece he'll be sporting for the day (Once Richard spent the whole day in a suit of armor)

Went to medical school but due to personal reasons didn’t complete his residency.

After graduating med school, Richard joined the Toronto Emergency Medical Services, and served as a critical care transport paramedic for three years. After a messy break up with his significant other he moved to Ottawa and finished his residency.

An unknown viral outbreak, later traced back a sick business man traveling from one of the Earth colonies, causes Ottawa to all but shut down. In the wake the media reported 44 deaths, among them where a few close friends of Richard Matthews.

Wanting to be better able to handle a case like that if it ever happened again Richard decided to enlist in Star Fleet. Their medical program being one of the best, and would give him the chance to work with and study new diseases.

Having taken and passed his Cadet Cruse, Richard's plan took an unforeseen turn when he was assigned as a science officer aboard the USS Apollo. Following the events that incapacitated the Apollo's current Science Chief, Richard became the acting chief science officer.

Recently transferred, Richard is now a science officer aboard the new Intrepid-class starship, the USS Vigilant. On a side note upon hearing this his friends Jess and Keisha presented him with a map, a copy of The Hologram's Handbook. a music file titled "Lost In Space" and promised if he missed his first check in they would come looking for him. Needless to say Richard was not amused.
