Connecting with people can increase your sphere of influence and help you make a positive impact while achieving your goals.

During his time at SHS, Braden was a multi-talented student who participated in various activities such as golf, concert band, jazz band, orchestra pit, marching band, and FFA Trapshooting. These experiences provided him with an excellent opportunity to meet people from diverse backgrounds while participating in activities he enjoyed.

Braden currently resides in Bothell, WA with his wife and they just had their first baby. Braden's story is an inspiration to all young Turks to strive for excellence, take advantage of scholarship opportunities, and pursue their passions with determination and hard work.
