Blake Pederson

Blake Pederson’s route to Webb wasn’t a simple one; he had to grind his way to the top and strive for a better life he never had. Although Blake believes his experiences at Webb were valuable to his ideals, Blake views Webb as a “stepping stone to get where [he] actually wants to be.” “I literally just want to make a lot of money. My career plan is to make a lot of money, take care of my mom, and make sure my life is set so I don’t have to struggle.” As a multi-sport athlete, Blake learned the value of passion. Blake is one of the most passionate guys you’ll ever meet. His biggest passion is loyalty to the people he loves. Blake might be intimidating to some, but he’s a genuine dude who would “take clothes off his back and give them to one of his friends in need.” Blake will attend the University of Oregon, aiming to gain knowledge to support his dreams of providing his family with a comfortable life. He might be leaving his loved ones in California, but Blake will always have his passions to remind him of his most important goals.
