Thad is 11 years old and an avid fisherman.  He enjoys fishing more than just about anything, and is convinced that his next catch is going to be the big bass. After fishing, Thad enjoys playing sports.  His favorite is baseball, although he enjoys American football and basketball, as well.  He is also quite an animal lover and has had many pets.

He enjoyed his year of AIM in Madagascar, and now looks forward to his new life in Central Africa.  While in Madagascar, he made many Malagasy friends and taught them to enjoy American football, too!

Thad wants to become a veterinarian someday.
