Senior Spotlight… Brodie Sullivan

Every week we ask a St. Joseph-Ogden senior five questions. This week we talked to Brodie Sullivan.

What are your plans after high school?
I plan to pursue a business degree and eventually start my own company.

If you could have dinner with three people who would it be?
My dad, Taylor, and Luke Combs.

Who is your biggest inspiration?
My dad is my biggest inspiration because of his work ethic and his ability to make everyone laugh.

What is your favorite class at SJO?
I currently take three business-related classes so those are my favorite. My favorite teacher is Mr. Schacht because he is able to make students interested in the class and he lets us talk about problems in today’s society.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
I hope to be living in Texas with my family and successfully running my own company.
