Oliver is an avid sports fan and you can often catch him sulking in his own tears while waiting for the Minnesota Twins to win a playoff game. He is labeled as the “best dressed” amongst his friends and often shows up in a blazer to school. During his free time he likes to go bird watching or play pondy with the boys. In the future, Oliver wants to pursue a career in professional tie-dyeing or becoming a cornhole champion. Oliver is stoked to write articles alongside his fellow Knight Errant colleagues.
