McCrae has always loved sports. He keeps up with both college football and the National Football League, as well as current sports going on in West Linn. He plans to attend the University of Oregon and major in sports business. Another one of McCrae’s interests is cars, mostly Ferraris. He dreams of having a huge garage full of cool cars that he can drive around and blast old school rock. He loves 70s and 80s bands like Aerosmith and Queen.
This summer he went San Diego where McCrae visited a Chargers football practice. “It’s cool to watch but I’m glad I don’t have to do it,” he said. He also visited Phoenix, Ariz. and attended his sister’s college graduation from Arizona State University. While in West Linn, where he’s lived all his life, he works as a lifeguard at the Hidden Springs pool, which is where he spent most of his afternoons.
McCrae looks forward to his future in the world of sports, but for now he’s just going to kick back and save lives.
