Richard Cudney

Richard graduated from the Instituto Tecnologico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey at Guaymas, Sonora with a degree in Biochemical Engineering and Aquatic Resource Management. He has been involved in different investigation projects carried out in the Gulf of California, focusing mainly on marine mammals, island conservation, and fisheries.

Richard has traveled throughout Mexico and enjoys sharing his love for what he has seen, believing there is no other better way to practice conservation than transmitting that love to others. Richard is also a music composer and performer. Having a Latin American and American background, he developed his appreciation for both cultures and the music they carry within. When not at work, Richard enjoys scuba diving, hiking, sea kayaking, writing, learning from and with people.
