Striker was accepted into the the Disney College Program in 2011. He worked as an Attractions cast members as an usher for the Festival of the Lion King. He now works with the company in Entertainment.

Acting career

Striker's acting career began in 2000 when he got involved in a Bible study camp for children. He started with New Testament stories, doing a different story every day for the week of the camp, playing roles such as the angel Gabriel and Jesus. He then shifted to Old Testament stories and continued to work in the camp for another seven years, performing such roles as Moses, Elijah, Abraham, David, and a Phillistine lord. When a drama club was first started in his elementary school in 2002, he was cast in a play called A Funny Thing Happened On The Way to Jericho, and then was cast as Oliver Warbucks in Annie Jr.

In high school, he focused mainly on musicals, doing an occasional play on the side. He did chorus for Hello, Dolly! and Footloose!, and received his first name parts in Bye Bye, Birdie! and in Guys & Dolls. In the summer before switching colleges, he was cast as the Duke in a production of Big River, also playing the roles of a schoolteacher and Silas Phelps. He joined a student run theatre organization called Off The Lake Productions (OTL for short) and was cast in the musical Aida. He worked as stage crew, doing props and sound effects for OTL's renditions of Urinetown and The Wedding Singer. He then played minor roles in the play Spring Awakening.

In 2012, he originated the role of Reggie Tennyson in an adaptation of The Luck of the Bodkins. Spring of 2013 saw him cast as part of a crowd in a production of Godspell, and later that summer participated in a show called Best of Broadway (which featured songs from shows as Jesus Christ Superstar, The Phantom of the Opera, and Les Misérables). At the end of the year, he was cast in the chorus of the musical rendition of A Christmas Carol, but was moved up to the role of Mr. Fezzywig three days before the show opened.

Inheriwiki

Striker began reading Eragon around the time it was published. His mother got him into reading it as he was fan of the Harry Potter series. Deeply enriched by the book, he received Eldest on his 18th birthday, and bought Brisingr in 2008. He found Inheriwiki in November, and became an active member. He likes to work on putting down true facts on articles, nitpicking on spelling, and trying to find vandalism. On January 15th, he ran for an administrator position. On January 20, 2008, Striker was elected as a co-administrator. He hopes to perform in his new office to the best of his ability.
