[edit] Early life

Hartley was born in Ravenna, Ohio, the son of Michele and Rei Hartley. He has a sister, Danielle. He began his career in 1997 at the age of five by performing magic for his family and friends. He went to school at Rootstown Elementary School in Portage County, Ohio for a number years and then moved on to other schools. After several years of success in local venues, he was encouraged, at age 13, to pursue his acting career in Hollywood.

Soon after he moved to Los Angeles, he immediately began acting classes and pursuing a professional acting career. His years of performing magic for family and friends paid off when he became accepted as a professional member of the Hollywood Magic Castle's Junior Magician Society.
