What do you want to do after high school?
Attend my dream school of Indiana University and earn a business degree from the Kelley School. As of now, my goal following that is to attend law school at the University Texas.

What is your favorite thing about SJO?

My favorite thing about SJO is definitely the positive learning atmosphere and the relationships I’ve been able to build with my teachers, coaches, administrators, as well as other students.

Who is your biggest inspiration?
My biggest inspiration has gotta be my dad. He’s taught me so much about life and how to be a man. I’m forever thankful for him.


Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

Living in Austin, Texas or Nashville, Tennessee with a law degree and hopefully working in the music industry working for a record label. I’d like to be married and maybe even have a kid by then.

What is your favorite class and why?

Any history or social studies class. I really enjoy learning about the history of our nation especially, as well as the world holistically. I find it interesting how people have evolved socially over time and how human values and ideas have changed. I look forward to taking both Civics and Economics this year with Mr. Schacht.
