My name is Braeden Harbison and I am a junior at Robert Morris University.  I am majoring in communications.  I'm from Shaler, PA which is about 40 minutes away from campus.  I have played ice hockey since I was three years old and currently play for Robert Morris's D1 club hockey team.  I enjoy going to the gym and working out and watching action movies.  I grew up as an only child and was raised by my mom and dad, with my dad being a retired Marine and my mom who works for a law firm.  Having a father who served in the military brings on a lot of history lessons from him and watching a good amount of war flicks.  Learning about different cultures has always been interesting to me to see how similar or different my culture is compared to others.
