Early Life
Fisher started his life's journey when his mother, Gina Morton, gave birth to him in Children's Hospital March 9, 1998. As a boy he participated in [|Boy Scouts], Tennis, and Swim Team; he especially found interest in computer games- so much so that some would describe it as an addiction. In 2006, 2008, and 2010, Fisher placed first in his Boy Scout Troop's "Rain gutter Regatta" tournament, as well as placing first in the Pine-Wood Dirby Competition in 2007. At the end of his Elementary School Career, he intended on attending Bearden Middle School until his mother placed him at Episcopal School of Knoxville because she decided he was too socially awkward to attend such a large middle school. Such a trifling decision by his mother would ultimately cause a paradigm shift in his later life.

Attending the Episcopal School of Knoxville (ESK) is believed by some to be the reason for Fisher's dramatic shift from being the overweight, socially awkward individual he was deemed in his early life. In 6th grade, Fisher met Briston Maroney, emerging bluegrass and soft jazz songwriter. He started as number 16 on the ESK football team as an offensive lineman and defensive back. He also played Tennis, participated in a Trap Shooting Club, and ran track for ESK. Not only was Fisher known as an outstanding athlete in his Middle School, but he would also develop a love for music. Fisher picked up the guitar in 6th grade, going on to participate in school talent shows, street performances, and even private venues. Many believe Fisher's pinnacle for his guitar career was during his 8th grade talent show when he covered Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze"- famously known for his ad lib at the end of his performance which left his audience in tears of ecstasy. Fisher graduated ESK in 2012; as described by his headmaster, Jay Secor, "Although he had to part ways in 2012 with ESK, his lasting impression on the school will last for a lifetime... we will never forget [you]".

2012 marked the year Fisher would go to West High School. He was very intimidated by the idea of leaving his legendary status at his middle school, and although hesitant, Fisher knew that he would be able to achieve this status at his new school as well. Fisher still attends West High School and will graduate in May of 2016.
