Southern by birth, bilingual by the grace of God. Hurricane Katrina left New Orleans' school system in disarray. Due to few available slots, Conway began kindergarten at a French immersion school, a choice his family never intended.

In middle school, Conway studied Mandarin. In high school, he added German to his repertoire. STEM interests remained strong: he enjoyed TEDYouth 2013 in New Orleans, where he was most fond of the tiny robots. He took a summer camp at Stennis Space Center in Mississippi because of his love for Star Trek.

On June 7, 2014, he was part of a small group who read the WWII memoirs they translated from the French at The National WWII Museum.

By 18, Conway had written and directed two comedy shorts. While acting is his main focus, writing provides an outlet for his absurdist humor. He's also become more invested in behind-the-scenes work, appreciating the many hands that build a movie world. He gravitates towards writing rom-coms, often casting himself as the affable loser, but retains that love for science fiction.

Conway moved to the Atlanta area just prior to the pandemic.
