Chuck Richter

Chuck became an Angels fan some time in 1978, when he was eight years old. His step-dad, Robert Holmes, would always look for an Angels game to put on the radio when they were in the car driving around, in the garage working on the car or outside doing yard work, if the game wasn't on television. Richter became familiar with the players that year and in 1979, when the Angels won their first pennant, Chuck became a lifelong fan. From that point forward, there weren't many Angels games he missed on either the radio or television. Chuck's three favorite players of all-time are Chili Davis, Tim Salmon and Vladimir Guerrero. In February of 2004, Richter launched AngelsWin.com, and slowly over time it took off. In 2005, he was interviewed on popular news radio station KNX 1070 to share his thoughts on the name change, as AngelsWin.com was selected to be “The Voice of the Fans”. Chuck was brought back a year later when the Angels were officially named ‘The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.’ In 2006 most if not all regular members of the Angels ESPN message board decided it was time to have their own home for Angels Baseball and moved over to AngelsWin.com for good. A year later, longtime members from the Angels Official Website Forum took notice and they too migrated over to AngelsWin.com and from that point forward, with many more to join later, AngelsWin.com has become known as -- the internet home for Angels fans. Another pivotal point in the success of AngelsWin.com was during their 2009 Summer Fanfest, when VP of Communications Tim Mead granted Chuck Richter a press credential for AngelsWin.com. Since then, Chuck and several other writers have been to the ballpark, in the clubhouse, dugout, field and press box covering Angels Baseball, esteemed as a member of the media. According to Tim Mead, AngelsWin.com was the first fan-site run operation to achieve this respected credential by the Angels. On a personal side, when Chuck is not spending time with his friends, family and dogs, he's perusing baseball stats, Blogging about Angels Baseball or involved in discussion at AngelsWin.com, Facebook or Twitter. After living the first 35 years of my life in Southern California, Chuck moved to the Pacific Northwest in 2005, just 25 miles east of Seattle, on the Snoqualmie River. Chuck loves cooking and grilling outside in the summer. He also enjoys outdoor activities, such as hiking and water sports, including one of his favorite activities of the year, an annual river float party in the summer. As far as work outside of AngelsWin.com, Chuck is a technical customer success manager for a well known company in Seattle, WA.
