Hilera Hardy is ironic.

You probably know him as Connor Hardy.

Yes, he likes to be ironic in his humor, but his life is ironic too.

Hardy’s favorite sport is baseball. His favorite team is the Yankees: he watches all the games, and even participates in a fantasy league with all his friends. Naturally one could assume he plays on the school team. However, that would be incorrect.

He never made the team as a freshman so he tried volleyball instead but, almost four years later baseball still remains number one.

“I’m the baseball lover who plays volleyball,” jokes Hardy.

As it would turn out, many aspects of Hardy’s life have an ironic twist. His last name, Hardy, means bold and strong, but those are two words he would not use to describe himself.

His goal is to make people laugh, and he isn’t too concerned with weight lifting or leading the way.

His dad owns the Boat Locker, a store for sailing and boating supplies, and Hardy himself considers himself an avid sailor with the rest of his family. However, his dog, named Sailor, hates water, especially puddles, yet again adding to the paradoxical nature of his life.
