Brannen recently turned 16 and is at the high school as a Sophomore. He has a lot more homework this year, but has still maintained a 4.0. He learned to drive, and is looking forward to getting his license in the next couple of months.
Piano is a huge part of Brannen's life. He is an organist for our congregation, as well as the choir pianist. He still teaches 10 students, as well as has lessons himself. This year his teacher is helping him to learn how to compose, and also to play by using chords and improvisation. He was introduced to the music of Jon Schmidt, and now plays a lot of his music! He enjoys performing, and will be participating in two talent shows this month.
Brannen enjoys playing basketball with friends. He also participates on the track team, and really enjoys running and the high jump. His high jump record is 5'0", but is excited to begin jumping again this season to improve. A major accomplishment this year was participating in a 1/2 marathon. He completed it with a time of 2:15:50!
A year ago, Brannen earned his Eagle Scout award. He continues to enjoy scouting, and is looking forward to some high adventures this summer! He succeeds at whatever he chooses to do and is well liked by everyone. We love you Brannen!
