I have always had a huge side passion for photography since I’ve been young. It has been a huge blessing to travel to many beautiful places with my family and take some beautiful shots that I’ve taken. These are two fantastic shots I took in Hawaii. If you have any questions about them feel free to ask me and I’d be happy to explain more and show more pictures I have take from my trips. I heard about this scholarship from my football coach Vossen, and with some pretty unlucky rejections from my previous scholarships I thought anything helps. I plan on going to UMD this fall for sales, and I’m going to be working as much as I can to gain the money for school. Photography is always a good way for me to relax and enjoy a good world. If you have any further questions feel free to contact me back, it would be a huge blessing to receive this scholarship for my future.
