Douglas E. Richards was born on May 7th, 1962. He grew
up in Cincinnati, Ohio with his parents and his sister, Pam. He went to
Finneytown High School, and then graduated with a degree in microbiology from
Ohio State University, a master's degree in molecular biology from the
University of Wisconsin, and a master's degree in business administration from
the University of Chicago.
Douglas now lives in San Diego, California with his wife, Kelly, and his two children, Ryan and Regan. The main characters in his Promethius Project series are named after his children, who are shown next to him in the picture above. Finally, Douglas has a furry black cockapoo (a cross between a cocker spaniel and a poodle) named Dash, and an adorable mystery puppy named Myla. Why is Myla a mystery puppy? Because the Richards family got her from a shelter, who told them her mother is part dachshund and part something else, and her father is unknown. If her father was a great dane, this puppy's going to get big in a hurry.
