My name is D Brock Newcom (he/him). I was born and raised in Denver, Colorado. I’m a religious studies major and business minor graduating in 2026. I’m uncertain of exactly when it happened, but sometime 4 years ago a meteor struck my backyard knocking over a tree. This tree fell and hit my neighbor, who was drinking tea on their porch, breaking their leg and prompting then to sue my family for “physical and emotional” damages.
