Music is one of my passions. I have performed over 15 different times with the Bismarck/Mandan Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Dr. Beverly Everett. I have also performed numerous times with the Missouri Valley Chamber Orchestra, directed by Mr. Dennis Gowen. My primary instrument is the oboe, which I began to play in 2007. I also perform on the English Horn, Clarinet, and Saxophone.

I am also very active in the Boy Scouts of America. The rank of Eagle Scout was awarded to me in 2012. I am also a member of the Order of the Arrow, the National Honor Society of the Boy Scouts of America. The Vigil Honor, the highest honor given to an individual in the Order, was given to me in 2012. I am also a Founder's Award recipient and served as the Lodge Chief, or the head leadership role in the organization, in 2015. I have worked at Boy Scout Camp Wilderness over four summers, serving as a Scoutcraft Aide and the Newspaper Director, where I published a weekly Camp Newspaper.
