Some things about me! My name is Sebastian Gruener, I currently attend Carolina forest Highschool and will be graduating this upcoming May. I am from Batavia Illinois and i moved down to Myrtle Beach 3 years ago. My hobbies can include multiple different things but i mainly enjoy building rc cars to race, Bass fishing is one of my summer hobbies, I also love to watch the Chicago bears play! I tend to find myself most enjoying working on/building things I love to constantly find new projects to work on to keep myself busy.
