Deacon is a graduate of Mountain High School and is now enrolled at New York University

Deacon graduated from Mountain High School in June 2022 and began studying at NYU that fall.

After spending freshman year in a dorm, Deacon moved into a pricey apartment in the West Village with two of his close friends.

Many slammed Deacon as a ‘nepo baby’ and ‘trust fund kid’ as they felt the apartment was unrealistic for the average 20-something college student.

Outside of his studies, Deacon is an aspiring actor and singer. 

He made his TV acting debut in Netflix’s Never Have I Ever in 2022.

He appeared on two-episodes of the comedy-drama series created by The Office alum Mindy Kaling and is also set to appear in the upcoming comedy 4 Kids Walk Into a Bank.
