STATS AGE: 23 NICKNAME: Ripp PLANET OF CHOICE: Io (moon of Jupiter) MOON WEIGHT: 22.5 CHAIR: Globe = neopolitan	Matthew Richmond Recently promoted to mission commander, Richmond has proven his long term mission duration abilities. During the final orbit of his first commanding mission he was quoted as saying, “I’m tired now... I need to sleep and I have homework still to finish.” Educated at The Cooper Union School of Art, Richmond has the eye of a photographer, the talent of a designer, and the skills of an architect, which he acquired from two years of additional study at The Cooper Union School of Architecture. Richmond interned as a Studio Assistant for Richard Avedon before crowding up SiteSpecific's trophy shelf with his art direction of Third Millennium (one of Newsweek magazine's top eight web sites). During his next internship, at Microsoft, Matthew worked as an interface designer for Picture It. Recently made an equal partner, Matthew applies each of his abilities to insure the Chopping Block always maintains a stable orbit.
