Everyone can enjoy a piece of pizza every once in a while. However, there’s someone who enjoys it a little more than most of us. Brant Blessington, 17, is very educated on where to get the best pizza considering he’s been to 48 states and tried a slice in almost every single one. Out of the 48 states Brant has been to, he is now living in the small town of Madison, South Dakota with his mother, Melissa, and father, Michael. and beloved dog, Kattail.
Dining in at restaurants and eating a classic pepperoni pizza is something Brant and his family love to do together. In fact, spending time with family is something Brant loves to do in general. Although Brant is an only child, he doesn’t mind. He says he “likes the calmness” that comes along with it. Plus, because his family is so small, they have a lot in common and bond over activities like frisbee golf, hunting, and fishing. Speaking of fishing, this is something he recommends to everyone. He says, “It takes time. You must have patience in order to accomplish even the little things.”
Brant dedicates almost everything he knows to his father. Not only that, but his father’s occupation as a Fish and Wildlife Officer has influenced his own future. Brant would like to be a wildlife biologist. This is no surprise considering his favorite subject is biology. Brant explains that he knows a lot about animals, but has a desire to learn more. Brant is quite an outdoor and animal enthusiast.
10 years from now, Brant would like to study wildlife in Montana or Wyoming. He chooses these states because of the cool temperatures and beautiful scenery, specifically the mountains. He prefers a place with mountains because of the diverse wildlife and freedom that comes along with it.
Brant is an intelligent, passionate, and dedicated individual with big dreams. There is no doubt that he will move mountains.
