He graduated from Tualatin High School in the suburbs of Portland and started his college education at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana. After a couple of years, he took some time off from going to school and taught English in Seoul, South Korea. He transferred to Portland State University in the spring of 2013 and has been growing as a student and a person ever since.
