He was in National Honor Society as the Commissioner of Scholarships. He was in the Becoming Resilient in Overcoming Stereotypes (BROS) Club (helping set up events and clean up in the community). He tutored at the YMCA and was a basketball coach and referee. He also tutored extensively at his high school.
