My name is Jason Mullner, and I am a Senior at Bishop Union High School. I was born in Upland, California on April 18th, 2006. I am half Peruvian and half white. I moved around a lot when I was little starting from sunny Southern California in the cities of Upland, Ontario, and Rancho Cucamonga to moving to Bishop, California. I moved to Bishop when I was 13 and have been here ever since. I am a student-athlete and play football, my positions are tight end and outside linebacker. I like to hang out with friends and go to the gym in my free time. This is my first year in Bronco RoundUp and I'm looking forward to being in this class.
