I am writing to recommend this Gem of a coworker. I got the chance to work with Richard Culp in Food Networks Restaurant Impossible, Shooting several episodes across the country.
As an employee, Ricky was always ready for anything. This show isn' ...MORE... t easy and as an employee you need to adapt and work under a variety of situations, yet with his great attitude and charisma always stands out.
I commend his work ethic, he will always bring knowledge and a positive vibe to whomever works with him on set.
Ricky is a delight to work with and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again.

Richard was hands down a joy to work with. Even on the hardest shoot days, I never saw him without a smile on his face and a quick response to any issues that came his way.
Richard is very knowledgeable with all the camera gear we used and anytime ...MORE... I came to him with even the dumbest of questions he was always happy to help and made sure to explain everything thoroughly.
You can tell the passion he has for what he does and I can’t sing his praises enough.

Production Manager
Richard was our PA for our shoot in Pennsylvania. Richard was punctual, organized, diligent, and a pleasure to have on set. Richard assisted in numerous ways, helping to get our interview setups ready to go, greeting our interviewees, and going on ...MORE...
runs making sure everyone's needs were met to the highest expectations.
Richard was also very intuitive, and helped problem solve across the shoot days. For example developing a nifty technique for blacking out the windows in the interview space when duv wouldn't cut it.
His attention to detail, and keeping things sanitized went above and beyond.
I would definitely hire Ricky again, and hope that we would be able to utilize him across more departments than just production.
