Sharks, Scouting And Superheroes

Have you ever had the enjoyable opportunity of meeting an individual who seems to have the world on a string? You know the type I’m talking about: This sort of person has loads of talent, brains, an impressive and lengthy list of accomplishments. They’re trustworthy, humble and, for good measure, even easy to like.

Chandler Bise is one of these rare and remarkable individuals — extremely capable, confident, accomplished, self-effacing and really likable. Although only 18, his list of IT activities and accomplishments would be impressive for someone three times his age.

Born and raised in Montgomery, Ala., Chandler is the oldest of three children, He has two younger sisters and comes from a tight-knit family that enjoys camping, hiking, and fishing. The family also has four dogs: Ginger, Coco, and Drake are Boykin Spaniels, and Gus is a brown lab.

Chandler’s father, Dax Bise, describes Chandler as a very special young man who mostly kept to himself growing up.

“He was quiet, always reading and always thinking,” said the elder Bise. “I didn’t push him, just kind of let him do his own thing. When he was little he was always taking things apart to see how they work. One of his first words was ‘refrigerator.’ “

An aptitude for IT

Chandler’s inquisitiveness and desire to learn eventually led him to Brewbaker Technology Magnet High School in Montgomery, where he excelled in IT and robotics. John “Katphishe” Cannady, the school’s technology instructor, describes Chandler as being amazingly unique:

“In 32 years of teaching, I’ve never seen another student like him. He’s the kind of kid that you wish every student was like in terms of performing. He had a vision and a plan to get through high school with as much learning as possible.”
