Daniel Marshall, Multimedia Manager
Daniel Marshall is a member of the Pleasant Valley High School senior class. He has a passion for learning technology and ponders about how primitive our current devices will look in the next 100 years. At just 14 years old, he assembled a functional desktop computer given only the components. He aspires to take on a career in STEM and create the next generation of electronics to power the world. Daniel is a four year member of the Pleasant Valley Spartan Marching Band, and enjoys honing his technique on the flute. In 2022, Daniel achieved the first chair for the flutes section of the Southeast Iowa Bandmasters Association. His favorite hobby is playing video games with friends, but he also enjoys snowboarding and surfing. As a senior, Daniel wishes to explore the field of journalism and work behind the scenes to discover the life of a journalist.
