Shortly after, Richard struck out on his own and formed Plaster Development Company, Inc.

Today Signature Homes has plans to develop and build over a dozen new communities spanning throughout the Las Vegas Valley with a projection of over 200 homes built over the next two years and further expansion beyond.

He has been National Representative for The State of Nevada to the National Association of Home Builders. He is currently active on the boards of the Southern Nevada Homebuilders, Meadows School, Nevada Ballet Theatre, and the Las Vegas Philharmonic. Richard is a proud father of three and a grandfather of four. He began Signature working closely with his late and beloved wife, Wendy Plaster.
