Ashton is a creative, ambitious, friendly young man who plays in a garage band on the weekends. Ashton was lucky that when he needed to be removed from his home, a good friend's parents were willing to take him in. He is fortunate to be in a familiar environment with a friend, though he admits it's embarrassing that his own parents haven't made great decisions and put him in this position. He is resilient, though! Ashton is a 21st Century Scholar and recently graduated from High School (in the midst of this global pandemic). He will receive his certificate in welding once Job Corps reopens and he can finish the program. He is actively pursuing a career in welding.
