As a junior, this is Max’s second year on staff as a business manager and his first year as a spotlight editor for the Bear Facts program. He aspires to study environmental science at the University of California Berkely and become a stereotypical college kid. Max is involved with the NHS program and volunteers inside and outside of school. Along with being part of NHS, Max is also a FAME leader and participates in the school’s scholastic bowl and tennis teams. He has also taken an interest in gardening as a former member of the Illinois Orchid Society (Max had to quit because his two cats destroyed his orchid garden).
