Bear in mind he's "CEO" of the underwater MATE ROV team at Phillips Exeter Academy, and if you scroll down a bit, it says that Phillips Exeter Academy is giving him a high school diploma.

He is a high school senior right now. He is one of my closes classmates and really devoted to such projects. It's mind blowing
