STEVE RICHARDS

Steve Richards is a co-founder and director of the TheoEco Institute. An environmentalist at heart, he is deeply concerned with how the intersection of theology and economics impact the ecology, all of which is the kernel that led to the TheoEco Institute. He and his daughter Bobbie Richards produced TheoEco’s first feature-length documentary “Piles of Bricks,” a film about the April 2015 earthquakes in Nepal and the following recovery efforts. He produces all of TheoEco’s documentaries.
Steve was born in Camden, New Jersey, raised in Miami, Florida, and spent decades in finance in New England before finding his more missionary side in 2010 via environmentalist leanings and a quixotic attempt to discern the role the Spirit plays in the world's economic activities. He finished his first study, Economics in the Gospels while studying theology and economics at Yale University in 2014.
Richards founded the TheoEco Institute in 2015, a non-profit concerned with documenting, assisting, and researching those entangled in environmental and economic predicaments. Documentaries are a big part of TheoEco's focus, as are its connections with Nepal, the 2015 earthquakes there, and the National Theological College in Kathmandu, where Richards has been a visiting professor since 2015.
