He attended Southern Utah University and received his Master of Public Administration in 2019. He has previous experience in higher education as an academic advisor and college admissions advisor at UVU.

His passion for working with Indigenous youth has led him to this position as AIS PREP Director. He will also continue his pursuit of education for the betterment of AI/AN students by starting his PhD at the University of Utah in Educational Leadership this fall.
