Richard Adamovich
Richard has been a part of the Lab for many years. He started volunteering in the summer of 1995 and was officially hired on as a part time employee in 1997. Richard’s duties have expanded to include a little of everything including some teaching, maintenance, and general facility work.
He enjoys a wide range of hobbies, including soccer, rollerblading, and composting. His love of compost and recycling has improved the Lab’s compost facilities and now almost every scrap of organic matter is recycled at the Lab. Every day is different at the Lab and Richard enjoys working in the outdoors, surrounded by nature and fresh air.
Richard currently lives in Arlington, where the rollerblading opportunities are plentiful.
