Collin Cruz is a sophomore from Starr’s Mill who recently joined McIntosh. This is his first year on the Trail. Cruz puts the most effort he can into writing his stories, and he wrote dozens of articles for Starr’s Mill’s newspaper. Cruz plans to work just as hard as he did there on the Trail.

Collin loves music, both listening to it and making it. His favorite artists include Björk, Boris, Vylet Pony and Samlrc. He is a fan of experimental music genres, like Post-Rock and Drone.
