He grew up in the large city with a childhood that included setting things on fire, and very occasionally focusing on mathematics. He failed to achieve his childhood goal of becoming an astronomer however when he entered college at Troy University in 2011 and realized it would involve cold nights outside, and so chose mathematics instead. He has continued his pursuits in mathematics and is now a graduate student at the University of Arkansas trying to graduate.
