Wassup Pennsylvania, you're king is here, and this has been a long, yet tough few months. Despite my challenges, I managed to make one appearance, which was a first for me. Alongside the reigning Teen Spirit of New York, Alison Hebert, I hosted the Mr. & Miss Autism Awareness Pageant. This is special to me specifically because I have a family member who is on the spectrum, and to have the ability to be a part of this event, was a blessing. Also, I was officially dashed the Emeritus Mr. Autism Awareness, so during this part of my reign, I have been advocating for various Autism specific organizations through my Instagram account @gromance0804. I also said goodbye to my sister queens, now former Miss Pennsylvania USA & Teen USA, Kailyn Marie Perez & Julia Meckley. During my reign I've spent hours every day connecting with everyone in Pennsylvania, especially in beauty Queens; and to build a friendship with both ladies. Not only to build a bridge for our worlds to connect, but it's just proper Pageantry etiquette to give love to those doing the same service. I would love to congratulate my new sister queens Victoria Piekut & Kiara Lin, on capturing the Miss & Teen USA crowns, and taking on the road to Nationals for the state...What's next for your king is getting better; finishing out 2019, getting ready for my step down, and getting the men ready to take my throne...
