Hello fellow earthling. I have a lot of different hobbies and interests, some of them you might find interesting and others you might think are stupid and a waste of time. I am involved with a couple different sports and programs here at PCM. I am probably most involved with our football program as some of you might already know. As my time in high school starts to dwindle down I have made one of my main goals to treasure everything I do and make the most out of the time I have left here.
