KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – The Kelseyville Unified School District announced that Dr. Joseph Richardson has been selected as the newly appointed board member for the Kelseyville Unified School District.
Richardson’s selection resulted from a process that began in late April following the death of longtime trustee Dr. Peter Quartarolo, as Lake County News has reported.
Dr. Richardson, who has resided in Kelseyville since 2006, graduated from Indiana University where he was a member of the wrestling team and competed in the Big Ten Conference.
As a former Division I student-athlete, Dr. Richardson understands the importance of putting academics before athletics. He would eventually pursue his lifelong dream of becoming a physician and graduate from Indiana University School of Medicine.
He moved to Kelseyville for its clean air, good people, small town hospitality and slower pace of life. He said Kelseyville has grown to become more than a place to call home.
In his own words, “It is a place where neighbors don’t just know each other by name but they welcome you and look after each other.”
Dr. Richardson has a strong passion for education. He has been involved in medical education as a clinical instructor at several universities to nurses, medical students and residents, who are young physicians in training.
He has been involved in several medical research projects in academics and in the private sector. Recently, he was selected as an Oral Board Examiner for the American Board of Anesthesiology. He also serves as a consultant for the Medical Board of California.
Richardson strongly believes in giving back to our community and there is no better way to achieve that then through service.
As a board member, he plans to help prepare the community’s children to be competitive in our ever changing world by creating an atmosphere that supports our teachers, administrators and staff.
