TheCrazyChemist is currently a freshman who went to Bedford Middle School (Connecticut) and goes to Staples High School. He has participated in Science Olympiad since the 2017 season (2016-2017) and will continue on competing in high school for the Staples High School team.

2016-2017
This was TheCrazyChemist's first year of SciOly, and he was very new to the concept. He was also not very good. However, he still managed to scrape one 3rd place medal in Ecology at the Connecticut State Competition. Note that he actually earned this medal and was not carried by an 8th grader. He also got fourth in Fast Facts, beating the A-Team on his first time competing in the event. Ecology and Fast Facts would go on to become some of his favorite events.

2017-2018
TheCrazyChemist had more experience this year, and he considers this year his best SciOly year. He got better at Fast Facts, an event in which he consistently got medals in. He also got better at Ecology, although he did not show it until Connecticut States. Note that he got carried in Rocks and Minerals and Connecticut States.

2018-2019
This year was a rebuilding year for TheCrazyChemist. Both of his best events, Fast Facts and Ecology, had rotated out. He decided to pick up Meteorology, and Thermodynamics and Heredity, although he was out competed in all but Thermodynamics for the Invitational season. TheCrazyChemist got 7th in Thermodynamics at Cornell. He may have gotten a medal if he had not changed his temperature prediction. At states in Thermodynamics, TheCrazyChemist did not think that the event was run very well, and he got 5th while the A-Team got 1st. Both teams faced build penalties for not so great reasons. TheCrazyChemist also tried out Circuit Lab, but found it very difficult. He was only able to learn combining circuits, a skill which earned him a 3rd at Sacred Heart. Fun fact, he almost lit an electrical fire at that scrimmage.

2019-2020
TheCrazyChemist would like to compete in Chemistry Lab, Codebusters, Write It Do It, and Anatomy and Physiology this year. He is competing in WIDI and A&P, and Water Quality at the LISO competition.

Scioly Assassination 138: Tanks and Turrets
TheCrazyChemist was one of the sassies in Scioly Assassination 138. Unfortunately for him, he acted a little too suspicious on his main account and drew some attention from amk578, who gathered substantial evidence against him and accused TheCrazyChemist.
