Conrad attended Exshaw school in Morley and went on to complete Grade 10 at WJ Collette High School in Calgary, AB, with his family and peers.

Conrad enjoyed and was interested in a wide range of sports and activities. He was a steer rider at a young age and an avid hockey player; from the Morley Pee-Wees to leading victories for the Wesley Hockey team as a goaltender. He loved hunting wild game to provide for our family and become a marksman. He also enjoyed fishing.
