Who is Ethan Morrow? Google my name and you will find very little other than a few people that happen to share my name and strive athletically or have a long forgotten LinkedIn account. The Ethan Morrow that is writing to you today is a Sixteen year old that is a Senior in high school. Try searching my name with my high school and you will come to the realization that I play golf. My Max Preps account will display a rather mediocre golfing career and statistics revolving around it. This is me but it doesn't show my interest. The real Ethan lives at a home with his Mom and Dad.
