He received his associate degree in Liberal Arts at the University of the Southern Caribbean in Maracas Valley, Trinidad, his Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry at Andrews University in Berrien Springs, Michigan and his M.D. degree from the Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara, in 1979.[7]

In 1981, Richardson moved to Sint Maarten, and began working for Sint Maarten's leading healthcare provider SZV Social & Health Insurances as the first control physician. He held this position until his retirement in 2010.

In 2008 he received the Excellence Award for his role in the realisation of the local drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre Turning Point, an award given out annually by Philipsburg Mutual Improvement Association (PMIA).[8] In 2014 the University of the Southern Caribbean awarded Richardson their Alumni Humanitarian Award.[9]
