He regularly volunteers at the Second Harvest Food Bank, the Springfield Soup Kitchen, and the Rocking Horse Community Health Center in Springfield. He loves to make Jeni’s inspired ice cream, play tennis, and travel to other countries with his family. Armaan’s main passion is photography. He has been taking photographs since age six. This past summer, he attended a National Geographic Photography Student Expedition at Yellowstone National Park.
