Conner was born in Kaukauna, WI, USA, in 1997. At the age of 11 and with the insistence of his ever supportive mother, Conner starred in his theatrical debut in his community's production of Peter Pan. Since then, Conner has honed his creative abilities through his theatrical work for over a decade. He has pursued theatrical endeavors throughout his high school and college careers, with lead roles like Beauty and the Beast's Gaston and And Then There Were None's Justice Lawrence Wargrave. With the decision to build a career in film, Conner went to college at the University of Wisconsin in Oshkosh, WI where he undertook a Radio/TV/Film degree. However, he could not escape his theatrical origins and quickly picked up another major in Theatrical Acting and a minor in Music. UW Oshkosh afforded him the ability to practice his directing and producing skills, landing him in those respective positions for three campus television shows, two short films, and a series of short theatrical plays. Also during his tenure at UWO, Conner discovered his passion for film post production and began editing as much as could. This thirst to prove his skills soon found him interning in New York City for the post department of Celebrity Page TV, which helped him gauge the professional market in the US' second biggest media hub. After graduating from UW Oshkosh, Conner secured a position with Dystopian Films as an assistant producer/editor. Another unexpected, but deeply appreciated road in his journey, Dystopian Films has provided Conner with many opportunities to grow, learn, and discover his abilities in both production and post production. He looks forward to establishing his first few professional credits with the company and what the future holds for him as he plans his debut in the media market of Chicago.
