Cody attended school from elementary to high school in Wapato. Cody graduated from Wapato High School in 2019. He played football all 4-years in high school. After Cody graduated from High School, he was unsure of his plans which led to him embarking on a new adventure, moving to Phoenix, AZ in October 2020. It was a memorable drive from his small hometown of Wapato, WA to his new soon to be home. He made sure to visit family at least once a year and preferred driving the 19 hours. Cody truly loved his time while living in Phoenix so much so, you would have thought he was born and raised there. One of his favorite things to do was fish with friends.
