He was a member of the team for two years, and before that was a football player at Miller School, which he attended for the 10th and 11th grades.  He has also played baseball during his four years in high school.

He has been active in the school's Future Farmers of America (FFA) chapter, serving as the group's president during the just-ending term.  He placed second in district public speaking contests conducted by the FFA.
