2. My name is Xavier Ortiz, I am twenty years old
and from Nampa, Idaho. I grew up in a family of
fi
ve with my parents and two younger sisters. A
lot of who I am today came from my family (both
household and outside family). But my dad had
the biggest impact on my life teaching me things
from respect, to how to mow a lawn, and even
playing baseball. Growing up sports has always
been a passion for me and I have learned a lot
of life lessons through sports and is industry I
love and can’t wait to be in.

knowledge in
• Telecommunications - 2030, something I will learn over time
but do need to focus on it
Soft Skills
• Time management - 2025, something I hope to improve on
during school and a little after.

language.
• Quick Thinking - 2028, something I need to work on moving
forward in this industry

watching sports programs fun and entertaining.
