The Philadelphia native came to Radcliffe to start college at Sampson University. He became friends with Elijah Barker, Tanner Lockhart, Lynn Lockhart, Tommy Covington, and Aaliyah Gupta, the latter he instantly fell for and began dating not long after. The aspiring filmmaker didn't hit it off with Mala due to his lack of academic achievement. The aspiring filmmaker soon found out his family couldn't afford tuition. Unbeknownst to him, Aaliyah went to her father for a check to give him to cover it. However, he had been adamant that he didn't want to be anyone's charity case. He also dropped out of college, deciding to make it on his own with help from his friends.
