Son of Turkish immigrant family. He grew up in Culpeper and attended Culpeper Middle School. Received 3.0 GPA. His favorite subject at Eastern View High School is History. He is on the MCJROTC Raiders Team and E-Sport Team.  He will be attending VMI.

          I'll never forget my experience as an MCJROTC Cadet; everything I've learned will be applied to my everyday life to better myself and others. I grew up in Harrisonburg, VA, and moved to Brattleboro, VT, during Covid for my sophomore year before moving back down to VA in my junior year, where I plan to graduate at Eastern View in Culpeper. I was sworn into the Virginia Army National Guard on Valentine's Day of 2023. After high school, I'm going to Fort Sill, OK, for BMT and then Fort Jackson, SC, for AIT, where I'll become a 42A (Human Resources Specialist). Thank you for teaching me the lessons I would've never learned elsewhere, and I will be greater than I had imagined before becoming a Cadet in this program.
