“Austin is really my heart and joy and I am SO proud of him. Austin is now 16 years old, a junior at Ashland High School in Ashland, Oregon, and having a good year, all As and Bs! He’s 6’3″ now and has a deep voice! He is into video gaming, board games, digital media of all kinds and hanging out with his friends. His future interests are everything from video game designer (his childhood dream) to digital media for movies to physics or chemistry and the study of creating alternative energy sources to becoming a teacher. Austin is thoughtful, kind, funny, and very affectionate.”
