Jude has won multiple state awards for swimming, being ranked high in his conference.  He has even coached younger children the sport. Jude also loves cooking with his family; he knows many recipes and techniques on how to make different foods. Jude lives with his parents and five siblings who are all younger than him by various different ages, with one being only two years younger, to the youngest being a whole decade younger than him.
