Giantpants (me) is a junior at Kellenberg Memorial High School, in Uniondale, NY, where he has competed for two years. He is currently the Co-Vice President of the team, and formerly competed for The Brother Joseph C. Fox Latin School, where he competed for four, spending two of those years as co-captain and captain.

2014 Season
Giantpants joined the Science Olympiad as a sixth grader, making the Bro. Fox B team. However, this was basically by accident, as his brother was on the Kellenberg main team. He performed relatively well at regionals, having medalled with little preparation. However, his didn’t carry over to states, where he performed abysmally.

2015 Season
Giantpants returned in seventh grade, where he was on Bro. Fox's main competition team. This year, however, he still was not immersed into Science Olympiad, not preparing as much as possible. Similar to 2014, he prepared well enough to achieve decent results at regionals, yet not enough to perform well at states.

2016 Season
In eighth grade, Giantpants committed to Science Olympiad, attending Division C invitationals with the Kellenberg Memorial High School team. This allowed him to compete on the B team at high level competitions, including MIT and Yale. He also additionally began doing events he enjoyed, such as Wind Power, Reach for the Stars, and Dynamic Planet.

At Blue Dragon, Giantpants medaled in all five of his events, a trend which he continued at regionals that year. Additionally, at regionals, he helped the team to its only regional championship.

2017 Season
After losing a large chunk of the team, Giantpants led the team as captain, doing extra events which had been left behind, such as Rocks and Minerals and Road Scholar. He led his team to good performances at Blue Dragon and Regionals, as well as the best state finish that the Latin School had had since 2008. Notable accomplishments include the near sub-100 finish at regionals, as well as a state championship in Dynamic Planet.

2018 Season
In his first division C year, Giantpants made the Kellenberg team, and retained many of his events from 2017, doing Dynamic Planet, Astronomy, Remote Sensing, and Optics. He performed relatively well all year, notably medaling in Dynamic Planet at every competition, and near/medaling in Astronomy and Remote Sensing each time, until states.

2019 Season
In 2019, Giantpants competed in in Dynamic Planet, Astronomy, Sounds of Music, Geologic Mapping, and regrettably, Mousetrap Vehicle. However, his states results were again less than satisfactory, save for a lucky medal in Geologic Mapping.
