“I’m from Florida. I came to LSU because my grandparents
live here, my dad grew up here and LSU has the degree in
environmental engineering that I’m looking for. It’s also close
to the coast, and I want to work on coastal restoration. I’m not
completely sure if that’s what I want to do, but I grew up fishing.
And I don’t like how we use and abuse the coasts without
renourishing them for different species. It’s not purely just for
the sake of the environment, but also for the fisherman and
hunters. I’m also teaching myself guitar. I got it last Christmas
and kind of just picked up playing it. It’s a good stress reliever,
and it gives me something to do. I’ve never really gone to
concerts beforehand. I mostly watch YouTube videos of people
playing. However, if I could have gone to any concert, it would
have been Led Zeppelin at Madison Square Garden in 1973. I
like Led Zeppelin, and I figured if I play long enough, I could try
some of their songs. Low and behold, I can play the first minute
of Stairway to Heaven.”
