BIO:

For more than 40 years, Dr. Richard Bucher has been a professor, speaker, consultant and author in the field of diversity. Rich's interest in this field began academically as an undergraduate student at Colgate University, and continued at New York University (M.A.) and Howard University (Ph.D. in sociology). His scholarly work in diversity turned personal when his firstborn child was born with autism in 1976.

Besides being a deeply involved father, Rich is the author of Diversity Consciousness, now in its fourth edition, and Cultural Intelligence: Nine Megaskills. When he retired from teaching at Baltimore City Community College, Rich’s thoughts, energy, research and writing turned to his family's personal journey. By weaving the latest scientific studies on autism into story upon story in his new book, A MOMMY, A DADDY, TWO SISTERS, AND A BROTHER: AUTISM AND THE DIFFERENCE IT MAKES, it becomes clear that Rich’s family experiences aren’t at all unique.

Rich lives with his wife Pat in Frederick, MD. He’s the father of three children, Jimmy, Katie and Suzy, who all live nearby. When he isn’t writing and spending time with his growing family, he’s exercising and working with youth in his community.
