“Originally I’m from Beaverton, I lived there for 5 years, and I moved to Vegas for about 4 years after that, when I first moved to Vegas I was in 5th grade. Some differences between Oregon were different weather, and the people were a lot different than in Oregon, from my experience. There was a lot more variety in race at the schools, and just some of the ways the buildings were. But culture wise wasn’t different.

I have just one brother, I’m pretty close to Tyler, and we still are, although it has calmed down a lot more. (Through moving) Our relationship was the same, our environment changed so much, there was just lost a lot of friends we had to say goodbye to especially because it was during COVID when it happened (we moved). I wanted to be a lot more like him growing up, now I can see we have different interests and we understand that, just trying to figure out who I am.

I’d say I grew up a quiet person, didn’t like talking to many people, and only talked to them if they talked to me first, definitely an introvert. My dad, my dad was one of the most impactful people (in my life), helped me a lot through my childhood, my mom absolutely, I guess in a way I looked up to my brother, but as far as I can remember that’s the only people (that had a big influence on me), just my family.

I plan on going to the Air Force and doing aviation maintenance, looking into aviation maintenance for a while, figured if I’m gonna do it in trades why not just do it in the Air Force? Probably gonna spend 4 years in the Air Force, after that don’t have anything really in particular planned.”
