During his time as a MMT he had the opportunity to work with several chiropractors in the area, the Remington Suites and the CenturyLink Arena. This offered him and his family experiences they never expected; from flying down to a LSU football game to attending many notable concerts. His most memorable experience was his 3 months with Cirque De Soli during the development of Toruk referring to them as his kids from around the country.
