Boone Hargrove
a shuttered coal town in West Virginia
Raised in a dormant coal town, Boone learned to fly crop dusters at an age where most kids are just learning to ride bikes. Absorbing the rhythms of dawn awakenings, he inherited a reverence for repairing machines, where precision stands between sustenance and ruin, ever mindful of his small community's reliance on his dedication.
