He lived most of his life in beautiful Mountain Green, Utah, where he attended Morgan Elementary, Morgan Middle School, and his Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior years at Morgan High School.

He attended Davis High School where his interest was in drama, theatre, and debate, but ultimately graduated from Woods Cross High School in 2003.

He became involved in musical theatre as he debuted as a Hairy Ishmaelite in Clearfield City's summer production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at the age of 9.

He also entertained us at Roger's Memorial Theatre in Music Man, and in Scrooge as young Ebeneezer, Snow White as the Woodsman, and in the Scarlet Pimpernel as Armand, and other High School productions. Landon loved to entertain and sing. He had a brilliant mind and loved debate, learning and gaming on and off line with his friends.
