Gavin CrowderI.c.stars intern

Hi, I’m GavinI’m a “Chicagoan” born and raised. I'm a westerner and by that I mean I've spent my whole life in the western region of Chicago. I've lived both in the city and the suburbs. During my time in the suburbs I attended Army Trail Elementary, Indian Trail Jr High. I also attended Addison Trail High School my freshman year but transferred to Proviso West High School where I graduated “Class of 2010”. After graduating I attended College of Dupage while there I was involved with the football team. Getting to the point I nearly lost my life 2 weeks into summer training camp so I couldn't play anymore. On top of that I was removed from all my classes and didn't have any type of income. So when I was fully healed I put school on the back burner and went to work. I've bounced around a couple jobs and ultimately ended up working for CTA where I worked for the last 3 years. As of now I've decided that I want more for myself and I recognize that I have a lot to offer to society. I'm excited to see what happens next.
