He was born July 14, 1989. His interest and early education concerning reptiles came from his native area in the mountains of southern Idaho, where he regularly captured snakes, lizards, frogs and toads.

In 2007, he produced and starred in his own show at Zoo Boise called “Reptile Rampage”, which ran at the zoo.[2] The show featured exotic reptile pets that got too big or mean, and the resulting consequences. It attracted thousands of people.
Since then he has assisted top zoological facilities where he has worked with all different types of animals including orcas, bottlenose dolphins, beluga whales, tigers, giraffes, penguins, primates, and reptiles.
He is a member on the board of the Idaho Herpetological Society. He currently attends Boise State University where he majors in Biology.
