Austin grew up in the small town of Franklin, Ohio between Dayton and Cincinnati. After high school, he attended The Ohio State University where he achieved a Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical Engineering. Throughout all four years of his studies, Austin was a member of the Buckeye cheerleading team where he experienced College Gameday, NCAA basketball, and UCA Nationals each year. These accomplishments took him to many places throughout the country including Phoenix, Dallas, New York, Disney World, and above all, New Orleans!
During his senior year of college, Austin applied to a prestigious Biomedical Engineering program focused on providing the best quality healthcare to veterans. His hard work and ability to multitask paid off when he was selected to start his career as a Biomedical Engineer in the summer of 2018 in New Orleans. Ironically, Austin had been to New Orleans before! He cheered in the 2015 Sugar Bowl between Ohio State and Alabama where Ohio State later goes on to win the National Championship that year. Little did he know that a few short years later, he would be calling New Orleans home! Austin is thrilled to start this new journey with the Saints and to be able to add Black and Gold to his Scarlet and Gray lifestyle.
