In Sebastian's youth, he was active in the Boy Scouts of America, earning the rank of Eagle Scout (2015) and Vigil Honor in the Order of the Arrow (2019). His time in the BSA and work on a trail crew in the summer of 2016 made him want to pursue a career working outdoors. Sebastian graduated from Oregon State University in the spring of 2023 with a bachelor's degree in Forest Management. He has been working in the timber industry ever since. In his free time Sebastian enjoys camping, fishing, and doing anything outdoors.
