==Personal life and early career==
Dresser was raised in Massachusetts.〔Boehm, Mike. "Adults and Little League: Fodder for a playwright." The Los Angeles Times, 2003-01-04, p. E1.〕 Following college, he worked in several different jobs at various New England factories, including one position where he manufactured thighs for G.I. Joe action figures.〔Phillips, Michael. "Playwright visits workplace reality to create fantasy." The San Diego Union-Tribune, 1997-05-08, p. B8.〕〔Worssam, Nancy. ("Richard Dresser's dark comedy "Below the Belt" opens at ACT." ) The Seattle Times, 2009-05-28.〕 Dresser later became a graduate student in communications at the University of North Carolina, with the intention of pursuing a career in radio; he discovered his talent for drama when he took an elective course in dramatic writing that led him to enter, and win, a collegiate play festival.〔Boehm, Mike. "Seriously Funny; Playwright Richard Dresser's 'Gun-Shy,' Opening in Laguna, Looks Beyond the Laughter at People Unable to Commit." The Los Angeles Times, 2000-05-22, p. B8.〕
Before finding success as a playwright, Dresser did freelance writing for corporate speeches and industrial films, mainly for pharmaceutical companies.〔Koehler, Robert. "The author of 'The Downside' draws his comedy from efforts to hide savage, primitive motivations."] The Los Angeles Times, 1989-12-23.〕 He credits his early career experiences in factories and the corporate world with inspiring his workplace comedies ''The Downside'' and ''Below the Belt'' (set in a pharmaceutical company and a manufacturing plant, respectively).〔〔
Dresser lived in New York City as of the late 1980s; in the early 1990s, he moved to Los Angeles with his wife and son (born around 1990)〔〔〔 He and his family moved from Los Angeles to upstate New York in approximately 2000.〔
