After high school, he enrolled at Northeast Louisiana University on a baseball scholarship, however, he suffered a knee injury that meant he was not going to be able to pursue a professional career.

After doctors had given him the go-ahead to live a long life, it was discovered that the tumor was not totally excised by the surgery, which prompted a malignant inoperable form to return.
