Richard Bernard is an experienced teacher, speaker, and unabashed technology geek. Because of his dyslexia, Richard has struggled his entire life to find how to manage his time and to study and understand the scriptures. He found the answer in technology and came to see that what he learned is applicable to everyone. He loves technology and has been teaching its use since the mid-’80s.

He and his wife, Amy, served a two-year service mission at the Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah, helping missionaries to study the scriptures effectively.

He is passionate about the Gospel Library and journaling and has been a guest speaker worldwide and a speaker at BYU Education Week and RootsTech. (thebusylatterdaysaint.com)

Richard is a busy grandfather to 34+ grandchildren, from his late and current wives. He has had several careers including a professional musician with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, and insurance salesperson, and an ASL teacher.

He is currently serving an indefinite mission in the Priesthood Family Department of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, with the responsibility of helping members worldwide to engage in daily scripture study and to use the Gospel Library as a tool to enhance gospel knowledge.
