PUP OF THE WEEK:CHRIS KANALEY

Meet Chris Kanaley! He is a third year BRAE student from Coarsegold, California. He loves working down in the shops with

the legendary Virgil Threkel and helping out with the Robotics Club in his free time. You can find him taking long walks on the beach at sunset or casually working on his “summer bod” in the rec center. SLO is one of his favorite destinations because of the beautiful scenery and down to earth people. His summer plans include traveling to Orlando, Florida to compete in the ASABE

Robotics Competition. Next year he will be taking the role as Vice President of the PAAC (Precision Agriculture & Automation Club)!

Give him a hoot & say hello!
