Richard Almes

Richard grew up in a quiet suburban town outside of Pittsburgh, PA. He attended The Citadel, a military college located in Charleston, South Carolina, from where he graduated in 1986 with a B.S. degree in Civil Engineering.

He went on to serve with a municipal police department for the next 15 years, engaging in all aspects of law enforcement and government administration. In addition to typical police requirements, his duties also included preparing and administering their annual multimillion dollar budget, computer systems administrator, technology implementation leader and managing the department’s purchasing and procurement section. Simultaneously, he started Almes Productions in 1989.

In 2001, he left law enforcement as a Lieutenant and went full-time with Almes Productions. His many years of gritty life and death experiences in police work have provided him with a unique insight into bringing drama to the screen in a realistic and believable manner.
