Casey Wanatick, Sports/Tech Editor

Casey Wanatick is a senior and Sports/Tech Editor for The Pearl Post. Hopeful for his last year in high school, Wanatick looks forward to seeing his friends and spend his last quality moments before he goes off to college. His ambition is leading him to a passage out of state for college, striving to be in the sports management industry. Wanatick’s biggest wish is to attend his dream school, University of Michigan to study sports management. He is prepared to live independently and learn the basics of life himself as he begins to live adulthood alone.
