Early life

Reggie always had an interest in the arts, but was obliged to attend the “Northwestern Military Naval Academy”, who recognized him as one of three “Notable Men of the Academy.” After the Academy, Reggie's love for acting inspired him to attend Illinois State University, where he obtained a bachelor's degree in Theater. In 2004, he won the “Outstanding Young Alumni Award” and was a member of the “Illinois Shakespeare Festival.”

Reggie continues to help charities with missions he is deeply passionate about in the hope of creating positive change.
