Our Founders

Together, Skyler and Mr. Myer founded The Varsity in the early winter of 2023. They both have worked tirelessly to keep up with their mission statement and make The Varsity the best they can make it! While they haven’t and couldn’t have done it alone, they thank everyone who helped them get to where The Varsity is now.
