Ethan was raised in a single parent household with 4 siblings. Drawn from his personal experiences including an estranged relationship with his biological father, poverty, learning support classes, and Government Assistant Programs, Ethan now works to help others. 

Through being around his coaches, neighbors & significant people, Ethan found inspiration around him. Ethan was a former 3 Sport Student Athlete his freshman year until life took a different course.

After graduation from J.P. McCaskey High School, Ethan worked odd jobs, and met Jordan S. Steffy, CEO & Founder of Attollo. Under Jordan’s advice & guidance, Ethan was convinced to pursue higher education.

Ethan graduated from Harrisburg Area Community College with an Associates Degree and from Millersville University with a Bachelor’s degree.

He received two Pennsylvania Common Wealth Citations from Senator Scott Martin & House of Representative Mike Sturla. Lancaster City Council & Mayor, Danene Sorace, also adopted a Proclamation Declaration resolution for recognizing Ethan’s miraculous recovery as a walking, living miracle.
