Later, Richard worked at an advertising company. In this job, he would visit all the hotels in Utah. He was continually asked the same question by front desk agents and concierges: “Do you have a map we can pass out?” By chance, he was then asked to deliver the Park City Discovery Map. After delivering it, Richard decided to purchase the Map and provide Park City tourists with a snapshot of all his favorite local businesses.
