First off, my band has played a huge part in the last few years of my life and have all been great friends. I love to make music as well as hang out with them and we’re all very close. Hopefully college won’t change how much we can get together and practice.
Another large part of my life right now is my martial arts practice. My cousin and I have been training together this past year and I’ve really enjoyed it. I never had a close relationship with him until now that we’re training together so that’s also something I’m happy about.
Forest Hills, the place I grew up and still live, plays a big part in who I am today. The community and experiences I’ve had living there has helped shape my character and hobbies in more ways than I can remember.
The gym is one of my favorite places to be. I’ve met many of my friends at the gym and working out is something I truly enjoy. It’s a great feeling when you push yourself and become stronger physically as well as mentally
Another thing that is important in my life is my relationship with my two brothers, Lucas and Christian. Being the oldest, it’s hard to have to be a constant example.
For a long time as a young teen, I struggled with my weight–having to deal with bullying because of how skinny I was. This definitely took a huge toll on me growing up and is the majority of the reason why I took up weightlifting as a hobby.
I love music. If I could pick one of my hobbies to keep and have to give up all of the others, I’d have to choose playing/listening to music because I couldn’t go without it for sure. One of my favorite bands, Citizen, actually played on the same stage as my band did and that was pretty big for me
