About Me
My name is Marco Gino Giacomangeli. I am 15 years old and currently live in San Diego, CA. When I'm not in school I am preparing for climbing competitions. Climbing is what I enjoy in my free time. Climbing has done a lot for me and I have been doing it since I was 9 years old. Competition climbing has taken me around the nation. I find it so rewarding because if you truly put the time in, it shows on big competition days. I feel it teaches me how to work hard, stay focused, and perform under high pressure situations. These principles also help me in day to day activities, not only climbing. Other things I enjoy doing is surfing, slacklining, and woodworking. This is my first year at High Tech High. I was born in the United States of America, but my mom was born in Chile. My other origins are from Italy and Costa Rica. I used to have dog but he died of mouth cancer. My favorite music is 90's hip hop.
