When he did, he immediately went into the performing arts field and joined the Fern Creek Chamber Choir and the theatre program. He went on to star in 3 of the schools major stage plays: The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton in November of 2013, War of the Worlds by Orson Wells in 2014, and Aladdin: The Musical in 2015.
