Located in Hudson, Massachusetts, Richardson works with K-12 schools and colleges to help them improve programs in math, science, and engineering, particularly for women and under-represented minorities.

Two programs he created earned US Presidential citations for innovative partnerships with industry and both were designated as national models by the US Department of Education. He currently is a member of the Diversity Advisory Boards of the University of Massachusetts College of Engineering and WPI.
