Throughout his early childhood sports mostly dominated his interests. He played ice hockey and soccer for years and when he eventually grew bored of them he picked up the guitar. He started lessons when he was eleven, the very same year he became interested in it. He wasn't very fond of the instrument when he first started playing, even giving it up for a short period of time, but as he improved he grew more attached to it. He has multiple family members who have played music including his father who plays keyboard and the accordion, and his late grandfather used to sing and play guitar in a country band. Around the same time he started guitar he started to really develop a love for music. He began listening to bands including Green Day, My Chemical Romance and Nirvana.
