Bio: Aedan was born and raised in Lawrence Kansas until he was about 9 years old. One day he was out with his father at the store leaving his mother and his younger brother Ryan at home. When they returned they found that the house was engulfed in flames. Aedan’s father ran into the house to try and save his family. When he emerged he had Ryan in his arms but his mother was nowhere to be found. His father set Ryan in the car and ran back toward the house but before he could make it there was a huge explosion and his father was flung backwards and lay unconscious on the lawn. The firefighters finally arrived and put out the flames but ti was too late. The house was long gone and Aedan’s mother was gone. They held a funeral for her a few days later and before he knew it he and his family were leaving Lawrence for good. He spent the rest of childhood as well as his teenage years in Richmond, Va. He did quite well for himself there. He never had trouble making friends and was very good with the ladies. When it was time for High school he went to Hermitage High and did very well there. He was a straight A student and was also a star wide receiver on the football team. He helped the team win 2 straight state championships in his sophomore and junior year. He was placed high on the national rankings going into his senior year but then it all ended for him. In the middle of his senior season he grabbed a jump ball but came down bad on his ankle and shattered it. It officially marked the end of his football career. He went on to finish his senior year and graduate towards the top of his class. After high school he decided to take a year off and help his father with the landscaping business he owned. He saved up a good chunk of money in that year and put it away for use in college. He got accepted to Longwood University and has finished his freshman year at the school. He is now ready to start his Sophomore year and looking forward to the opportunities he will have.
