About Me

Building, Learning, and Giving Back

​I started Joombi in 2020 because I wanted to create something my friends would enjoy wearing—and to help people who need food and safe water. What began as a simple idea grew into a sustainable apparel company that has raised over $10,000 for charity.

 

I love challenges. Whether it's competing in science and geography bees, building robots with my FLL team, or learning new guitar pieces, I believe that pushing yourself is how you discover what you're capable of. I've been fortunate to win championships at the state level, but the real reward is the learning process and the people I meet along the way.

 

Service has always been central to my life. Through Boy Scouts, I've learned leadership, teamwork, and the importance of giving back to my community. From organizing service projects to participating in the Walk for Hunger, I try to use my time and skills to make a positive difference.

 

Outside of competitions and service work, I enjoy playing guitar (9 years and counting), basketball, soccer, creating educational videos for my YouTube channel, and spending time with my family and friends.
