He has lettered every year in track, football, and baseball. He was voted Offensive MVP for football his senior year, and has won various medals in tracks. His favorite year school is senior year because he is able to work his dream job, a manufacturing job, and his class is at the top of the school. He has no particular memory from high school as his favorite but he always enjoyed being with friends and joking around. Eban says his greatest accomplishment in high school was getting through it stress-free with good grades.
Outside of school, Eban enjoys hanging out with friends and playing video games. He has also worked two jobs: Pizza Ranch in Marcus and a manufacturing job. His favorite school lunch is crispitos and his favorite food is fettuccine. Eban’s favorite movie is the Iron Giant and his favorite show is Money Heist. His biggest pet peeve is when people chew with their mouth open. His biggest fears are needles, heights, and spiders. Eban has several pieces of advice to underclassmen: don’t be afraid to try new things, get help if you need it, and always be a good person. He says that what he hopes to accomplish in life is getting a great job, great family, and living stress-free. Eban wants to be remembered as a nice person to everyone.
