When Asher talks about his future, he talks about growth. About learning. About building something meaningful with the opportunities he’s been given.
A sophomore studying computer science at Utah Valley University, Asher spends his days balancing classes, exams, and long hours of studying while continuing to push himself academically. Thanks to the support of his Folds of Honor scholarship, he’s been able to focus more fully on school, earning top scores on exams and continuing to work toward his dream of obtaining both his undergraduate and master’s degree in computer science.
But beyond the grades and accomplishments is a young man shaped by service, sacrifice, and perseverance.
Both of Asher’s parents served in the United States Army and deployed to Iraq, where they met and built the foundation of the family that continues to inspire him today. His father, Christopher Hobson, served as a Supply Specialist, while his mother served as a Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Specialist. Together, they taught Asher lessons that continue to guide him every day: work hard, finish what you start, and keep moving forward no matter the challenge.
Those lessons now show up in every part of his life: in the classroom, in his goals, and even in the hobbies he loves most.
Folds of Honor is proud to support students like Asher as they pursue their dreams and honor the legacy of service that helped shape them.
