It was Richard’s love of carpentry and business that got him started in the construction business. After high school, Richard proudly served as a Marine in both active duty and the reserves, learning the team-work and leadership that he would bring to Pezzuco Construction.
His commercial construction experience began when working for a prominent construction company, and then a commercial builder, in Rhode Island. In 1987 he started his own sub-contracting business. By 1989, Pezzuco Construction started hitting its stride, and with the addition of his brother Ron in 1990 started to really take off.
Richard married his wife Dawne in 1992, and they live in Johnston with their three kids: Natalia, Julia and Christian. Richard is a bit of a gourmet cook and loves staying healthy by running, skiing, windsurfing, and playing tennis, but his true love is spending time with his kids - the joy of his life.
