His first pro camp was with the NHL's Edmonton Oilers minor league affiliate, The Odessa Jackalopes of the Central Hockey League (CHL) in 2006. At age 11 his parents bought him his first musical instrument. A drum set. After moving into an apartment, he switched over to learning guitar and singing. Since age 14 he has been in and out rock bands, playing live, writing and recording music. Those experiences lead him to study Audio Engineering at The Institute of Audio Research(IAR) in New York City. After making the tough choice to leave the game of hockey behind, Omar began studying the craft of acting at various studios in New York City and working at CBS Radio(now Audacy) in 2009.
