Richard Wheeler is an artist, designer, researcher and consultant. He investigates locations, tools, methods, and cultures of observing, representing, and interacting with the world around us. He served in the United States Army for nine years as an imagery and signals geospatial intelligence analyst. He is currently an adjunct faculty member in Art Center College of Design's Media Design Practices: Field program and a lecturer in UCLA's Department of Design Media Arts.

Richard is certified in Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC), is a certified EMT, Wilderness First Responder, and an active member of volunteer group Team Rubicon.
