Following his life-long passion, senior Branson Seaton is the owner of Seaton Detailing, his own mobile on site detail shop for cars.

Starting the business the summer before his senior year, Seaton has learned to overcome the hardships of building one’s own career.

“Seaton detailing has shown me that great things don’t come easy,” Seaton explained. “You have to do something to make great things come to you.”

Thriving in his business industry, Seaton displays a positive public image of himself to attract more clients.

Seeing only good things coming from Seaton, junior Jack Mitchell explained how Seaton has become more admirable due to his car detailing.

“Branson is a great guy. He worked hard for the success he has received,” Mitchell said. “He is very encouraging and respectful of others, and I really respect him.”

Having this business as comfort throughout high school, Seaton describes his favorite thing about his work

“I enjoy cleaning vehicles and taking something from being dirty and bringing it back to its original self,”  Seaton said. “Another thing I like is that I created the business, and I make the final decision for it.”

Taking notice of MHS student’s capabilities, MHS principal Bryan Brantley commented on Seaton’s immense leadership and time management skills.

“Branson is a great asset to Marlow High School,” Brantley said. “He makes excellent grades and has a neat story because he is an entrepreneur.”

With intentions to build on his success, Seaton plans to attend college and major in mechanical and civil engineering.
