A former student of my public high school's AP Economics class is a partner at PJT. Can I cold email him for networking? This is not a joke.

My teacher one day did a presentation on "where a career in economics can take you" and a PJT partner (Mr. C's AP Economics '96, NYU Stern '00), his former student (who apparently got straight As in every test) was shown 💀. If I email this god, will he even take me seriously or will I get blacklisted from all of PJT? Keep in mind this aint so Birminghamsbury Academy's Rowing Team in Buckinghamshire, Vermont that all y'all Middlebury students went to, it's j a big public HS in the south lol.
