He attended Thornton High School which is located in Harvey; the school was founded in 1988, and has a predominantly African American enrollment, with many of its students finding careers in the performing arts as well as in sports.
During his time there, he showed enough athletic prowess to be recruited to the school’s basketball team, though he didn’t necessarily feel at home with that decision. A year later, he left to join the speech team, then becoming a two-time state champion in comedy speech writing, receiving awards from the Illinois High Speech Association. After matriculating from high school, he enrolled at Illinois State University on a full tuition scholastic scholarship, and studied for a degree in theater arts, hoping to later find a career in acting.

The school emphasizes teaching, with many of its graduates going on to become teachers, making it one of the largest producers in the country. During his time there, he appeared in the college play entitled “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” as Toledo. The play is about the African-American experience during the 20th century, dealing with issues of race, art, exploitation and religion.
He also landed his first professional acting project while a student, gaining the role of Art Baker in the film “The Express; The Ernie Davis Story”, based on the book entitled “Ernie Davis: The Elmira Express” written by Robert C. Gallagher. It follows the story of the titular character, an American Football player from Syracuse University, who won the Heisman Trophy in 1961, despite racial issues of the time. The film received positive reviews but bombed, losing money at the box office. After graduation, he then proceeded to look for more acting projects, beginning with a guest appearance in the show “Detroit 1-8-7”.
