Despite his success, Maxwell, along with his sister Samantha, mom, dad, his (2 rescued) pit bulls, and a dozen world-class acrobats - tour Chicago in an intimate big top playing neighborhood parks from the south side to the north, and all points in between. The show brings communities together while raising funds to rebuild local parks. In 2014, Maxwell was part of the troupe as they made history as the first and only American troupe to ever be featured in the prestigious Montreal Circus Festival.
When not filming, Max can regularly be found playing mandolin and holding down vocals with his band l, Cowboy Jesus & the Sugar Bums, who were awarded a Chicago Music Award in 2015 for best young talent.
