Dr. Richter has lived at Lake Oconee with his wife Kim since 2005. They have two adult children, Taylor & Connor. He has always felt "blessed" to have become a veterinarian, because of his love for animals, but it is apparent that he also loves their owners! He gushes that "people who own pets are some of the nicest people in the world." His favorite part about being a veterinarian is the long-term relationships that develop over years of taking care of people and their pets. Dr. Richter enjoys bike riding, horseback riding and wake-boarding on Lake Oconee. He also enjoys playing fetch with his chocolate labs, Brodie and Bentley.
