From an early age, Garrett has had a love for the arts. As an accomplished artist, painter and sculptor, he was encouraged to pursue his passion by his supportive parents. Through the guidance of Heidi Amestoy, his middle school drama teacher, his love for acting soon evolved into more than a hobby; she opened up a new world for him. After a meeting with famed talent scout Nikki Pederson of Nikki Pederson Talent, Garrett accepted an offer to enroll in IMTA 2013 where he earned numerous awards, including 2013 Pre-Teen Male Model of the Year, as well as garnering the attention of a significant number of agents in Hollywood. Nikki has been instrumental in the guidance of Garrett's career and has made a profound impact on his life. At the age of 11, he moved from his hometown of College Station, Texas, along with his sister, actor Mackenzie Wareing and brother, Mason, to Los Angeles to pursue his dream of acting. Once in Los Angeles, renowned acting coach Max Decker of CM Acting Studio molded, honed and sharpened his skills, instilling in Garrett the discipline to work daily toward the development of the craft. It was through Max that Garrett continues to further develop his skills to be a more grounded, lucid actor.
