Richard Handley is a healthcare executive, clinician, veteran U.S. Naval Officer, and serial entrepreneur. He is licensed and board-certified as a physician associate (PA-C), practicing clinically under his multistate PA licensure. He also holds two earned doctoral degrees—a Doctor of Medicine (MD, conferred summa cum laude) and a Doctor of Health Science (DHSc)—along with additional board certifications in longevity and functional medicine.

Rich's graduate training spans medicine, public health, business, leadership, and the arts. He is a graduate of the Keck School of Medicine of USC PA Program and the Master of Science in Healthcare Quality and Safety program at Harvard Medical School, where he now serves as an interviewer and evaluator for physician candidates applying to that same program.

Beyond healthcare, Rich has written and produced award-winning feature films acquired and distributed by Sony, Lionsgate, and Quiver. His latest feature film, Teacher’s Pet, is available on all streaming platforms. His career has spanned emergency medicine, combat-zone operations, executive leadership, and feature filmmaking—anchored by a deep commitment to lifelong learning, collaboration, and human potential.

Whether in one-on-one mentorship or within a fast-paced leadership team, Rich thrives as a creative problem solver and servant leader, valuing empathy, transparency, and shared mission above all.
