My name is Adam Holland, but I go by Jack because Adam is my father’s name. My family consists of me, my younger brother Ricky, my father Adam, my mother Jacquie, and our two golden retrievers, Liberty and Bailey. I have family in the Salt Lake Valley region. I am second generation BYU student on my mother’s side and fourth generation on my father’s side. I was born while my parents were still attending school. Needless to say, I bleed Blue.

Due to my father’s career, I have moved several times living in, Utah, Wisconsin, Illinois, California, and Idaho. I graduated high school with my International Baccalaureate Diploma. Through my life experiences and education, I have gained a passion for international cultures, perspectives, and history. I am a freshman at BYU and have enjoyed my time so far. After this semester, I plan on serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I am currently majoring in Pre-Business.

I enjoy playing basketball, volleyball, and football and have participated in clubs and teams for each in the past. Some other hobbies of mine are playing video games, watching movies, weightlifting, listening to music, skiing, and spending time with friends. I am also to learning to play the guitar, but this has had mixed success. Another activity I enjoyed was training my dogs to become therapy animals.
