Daniel Richter is a Junior at Texas State and his major is Digital Media Innovation. Richter grew up in Fairfax, Virginia and he moved to Spring, Texas a couple years ago. He is 20 years-old and has an older brother who is 22. He is independent, whereas he’ll go do something by himself if he wants to do it, even if no one else decides to go with. He can play one song on the ukulele and his biggest fear is not accomplishing something that he has started.

He loves to travel, having studied abroad in Geneva/London with the school, where he backpacked through Amsterdam, Berlin, Paris, Dublin, and Venice. He is excited for his trip to Hawaii this upcoming January. Throughout his life, he has been sky diving twice, scuba diving, fire-walking, and he has been in a hot air balloon (steering it part of the time).

Richter also likes to be involved on campus, where he is a founding father of his fraternity, Lambda Chi Alpha (their focus is ‘feeding America’). He is on the Club Swim Team here, and he has been swimming since he was 6 years-old. In his free time, he has his own art business, where he likes to make candles and paintings. Richter is a creative person who “enjoys thinking up something, bringing it life, and then sharing it with the world.”
