Q&A:

Q: How did you feel about winning homecoming king?

A: I felt it was a testament to who I was as a person, it made me believe that I have made a connection with people here. I always like to treat people with kindness, so I think my win was a testament to that too.

Q: How did it feel to be nominated for homecoming court?

A: I am very grateful for the people who sponsored me for this, without them I wouldn’t be in this position, and I appreciate it all.

Q: What are you looking forward to now that you’re king?

A: I’m excited to be on a float for the Greensburg Christmas Parade, it should be a fun experience.

Q: How did it feel for two kings to be crowned at homecoming this year?

A: I personally loved it, it was a great day for us. When it comes to stuff like this, it doesn’t feel competitive. Plus, I got to share a moment with Hank, so it was the best case scenario in my eyes.
