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. The show featured exotic reptile pets that got too big or mean, and the resulting consequences. It attracted thousands of people.
