He soon enrolled at North Seattle Community College in the Early Childhood Education program and, in August 2001, moved back to North Dakota and entered the Early Childhood Education program at the University of North Dakota. He would eventually graduate from University of North Dakota having double majored in Early Childhood Education and Elementary Education.

The Drama Club was recently recognized by the Rose Theater, a local children’s theater group, where the Drama Club was given four student scholarships to attend various Rose Theater Drama courses.
His passions include the theater, travelling, playing games (both online and offline) with his friends, and reading or listening to books. He currently resides in Bennington, NE, a suburb just northwest of Omaha, NE.
