Conifer grad Reggie Dickhoff overcoming autism spectrum disorder now as student

Aug. 12 was a big day for Marshdale resident Reggie Dickhoff: Not only did he turn 24, but he moved into his dorm room at Rutgers University, where he will begin law school.

Reggie, a 2012 Conifer High School graduate, still doesn’t know what area of law he’d like to practice, and he’s open to anything.
