Laura Richmeier
RTH Administrative Director
Laura Richmeier serves as the agency's administrative director but wears many hats. She works hard to provide family-style living for the boys as much as possible, and enjoys teaching the team at RTH how to "create childhood memories" for the youth in care at the group home. Laura serves as the Treatment Planning Coordinator, Crisis Intervention Specialist, and in-house Case Manager, in addition to many other administrative responsibilities. In her downtime, she loves creating cozy home atmospheres, mentoring other women, hosting tea parties and all things elegant and feminine.
Board President
Timothy Rabara
Michael Daum
Group Homes Director
Michael Daum came to RTH after college and we quickly realized he is a natural with kids. Mike keeps a level head in crisis, is a good listener, and is incredibly patient. He is understanding yet firm and is able to manage lots of day to day details in our busy group home while developing solid relationships with our boys. He describes himself as a "sponge" because he has an incredible memory and is able to keep an encyclopedia of information in his head regarding all of our youth and their history. Mike oversees day to day operations of the group home with great success. He loves hockey, the NFL, NBA, white water rafting, zip lining and acting silly for the boys! . He is a great asset to our program.

Thomas Urbina
Lead Teaching-Parent
Thomas has been with RTH for over thirteen years. He is especially good with helping kids calm down and stay focused on the blessings in their life. He enjoys being a "dad" to the boys and takes a special interest in making the home fun and comfortable. While the boys are at school, Thomas keeps up with repairs and loves to fix up the boys rooms with built in chalkboards, shelving for their collectibles and lots of other custom creations. Thomas is an avid Michigan fan and can always be spotted by his maize and blue attire. Thomas enjoys watching his favorite team, taking care of his own four children, and poking fun at Ohio State fans!
