Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma at 7:47 am at St. John's hospital in Utica Square.
-
My Family moved from Tulsa to Owasso, where I began school and went to Kindergarten and 1st Grade.
-
We then moved from Owasso, OK to Skiatook, OK because my dad lost his job. My mother then found a job teaching for Skiatook Public Schools, so we moved there. I attended 2nd - 7th grades there.
-
This was the third of many moves in my childhood, however it was my last school move! Before my 8th grade year, I received an athletic scholarship to Holland Hall School in Tulsa, OK. I completed 8th - 12th grades at Holland Hall.
-
My Grandma, Pat Hardin, passed away during my 8th Grade year. It was the first death that really impacted me. She was very sick and in many ways it was a blessing, not overly sad. Still, obviously heavy.
-
I was very fortunate to take a trip to El Alto, Bolivia in 2014-15 to live with villagers in the outskirts of the nation's capital.
-
Title says it all.
-
I rushed to enroll late at OSU. My original college plan was a football scholarship. I was offered a few, but at the very end of my senior year, I felt as though that path wasn't for me. This was very freeing, however, it left me scrambling to enroll at a University for the Fall after graduating high school.
-
After a poor semester at OSU that reflected my lack of preparedness and general ignorance of purpose at the time, I transferred to UCO and changed my major to study music. This was a VERY good choice in hindsight.
-
During my time at UCO, I made lifelong friends, met my wife, I signed with a talent agent and established a real sense of identity and purpose for myself.
-
Got married to a REALLY cool young woman that I met while performing and taking classes at UCO.
