Daniel Herriges

Daniel is a founding member of Strong Towns and serves as Content Manager. He has a Masters in Urban and Regional Planning from the Univ. of Minnesota. His obsession with maps began before he could read. His environmentalism can be traced back to age 4, when he yelled at his parents for stepping on weeds growing in sidewalk cracks. His love of great urban design and human-scaled, livable places has also been lifelong. He has a B.A. from Stanford Univ. in Human Biology with a concentration in Conservation and Sustainable Development. After college, he worked as an environmental activist in support of indigenous people's rights and conservation in the Amazon. He can often be found hiking or cycling. Daniel is from St. Paul, Minnesota.
