I did that all throughout my youth and in high school. I played at Carnegie Hall when I was 12 or 13."[3] He has a bachelor's degree from Indiana University's Jacob's School of Music. He started working at Fuzzy Door Productions as a receptionist where he befriended Seth MacFarlane. "People would come up and just have a conversation with me.
