About Roman : Roman ’ s business acumen became apparent in middle school when he sold candy bars to other students . In high school , he launched two businesses : off-road racing photography and real estate photography using a drone ( he had to get certified through the Federal Aviation Administration ). He also started the Junior Investors Club at Bullard , where 15-20 students met every week to talk about the stock market and learn from online classes and guest speakers . He has been an intern at Whelan Financial since November . He ’ s also an Eagle Scout and played high school sports . He thinks his diverse interests helped him land acceptance to the Wharton School of Business , one of the most respected business programs in the country . He and his family were shocked when he got the exciting acceptance email , but he said he ’ s ready for the challenge .
In his words : “ I ’ ve always wanted to be the best I can be . I ’ ve always signed up for the hardest classes .”
From Bullard teacher and Investors Club adviser Brian Fischer : “ Roman has been an amazing leader in Bullard ’ s Investors Club . He has a passion for finance and wants to learn everything he can about the stock market . When he gets older , I would trust him to be my money manager .”
