Q: If you could choose anyone alive today and not a relative, with whom would you love to have lunch? Why? And where would you meet for this lunch?
A: “Michael Jeffrey Jordan! I’d like to go anywhere with a big TV and good food to watch his documentary, The Last Dance, with him and hang out and talk about his whole career.”
Q: What is something on your bucket list?
A: “Snowboard off of a helicopter, I love snowboarding and I go out west every year. They drop you off on an untouched, really steep mountain and you jump out of a helicopter. That sounds amazing.”
Q: What is your go to band when you can’t decide what to listen to?
A: “Spanish worship music, Barak, Evan Craft, there’s so many. Stadium music too, especially before a game, I like to get hyped.”
Q: What would you rate a 10 out of 10?
A: “Hitting a big wakeboard jump on a glass evening on Lake Lanier when no one else is out there and the water is perfect. Sunset, that last run of the night, is a 10 out of 10. ”
Q: Who inspires you to be better?
A: “My number one comes from my faith, the example Christ sets for me, that’s where I get the way I want to live my life. Also, different mentors along the way. Professionally, Mr. Schofield is someone I really respect and I want to follow in the way I lead. My parents are amazing. They are career long missionaries and people I respect, and hopefully will make proud in the life I live.”
Q: Who is the most interesting person you’ve met here in our community?
A: “Bubba Little, he is amazing. He served as a Custodian for North Hall as a school and North Hall Athletics for 20 plus years. He’s a humble servant. He knows where every key is and everything about this campus. He loves this campus. His family played a sad part in our history in the 1998 tornado, when I was a student, a 9th grader here when the tornado hit our school. His family lived across the road and lost loved ones during the tornado. When I think of North Hall, I think of Bubba as a humble servant.”
Q: What advice would you want to give or leave with people?
A: “Whatever you do, work at it with all of your heart. Have a passion for life. I try to be a positive person. There’s so much negativity and division in the world. I try to inspire and influence people to be thankful for what we do have and be inspired for what we can do”
