Palmer was recently the subject of a documentary which was broadcast nationwide on many occasions via sports channel MSG network.

After receiving artistic awards at Saint David's and Loyola Schools in New York City, Palmer attended New York University, the School of Visual Arts, and the Sculpture Center in that city.
