He was an exceptional student, excelling in math and science. He enjoyed learning a variety of math topics, specifically pre-calculus. He loved solving rubik’s cubes, playing on the Hillsboro Middle School Chess team, playing disc golf, and gaming (especially Geometry Dash, Minecraft, and Gorilla Tag on VR).
