I have been serving the Hollywood Film Industry for the past 22 years both in front of the camera as a Stunt Performer and behind it as a 2nd Unit Director, Director of Photography, and Stunt Coordinator.
I began my Film career in 1989 as the stunt double for Leonardo in the New Line Cinema feature"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze," . It was this experience that changed the direction of my future career, as I realized that filmmaking was the only future I now wished to pursue.
For the next 13 years, I flipped cars, fell off of bunkers, was set on fire, exploded, stabbed, kicked, hit by cars, hit by bottles and shot by every type of gun imaginable. I've been thrown through glass by Steven Segal, clotheslined by Wesley Snipes, flipped to the ground by Michael Jackson and shot by Nicholas Cage, Mel Gibson, Ice Cube, Kurt Russell and many others in some of the biggest action films in Hollywood.
As filmmaking was my true passion, in 2002, I chose to move from performing in front of the camera to creating behind it. It was here that I was hired by Westlake Entertainment as head of production. During my tenure with Westlake Entertainment, I oversaw all elements of production, post-production, as well as packaging and distribution. During this time, I produced more than 275 hours of original programming and released over 175 DVD's.
Through my 22 years in the film industry, I have appeared in more than 100 feature films and over 300 episodes of Television but more importantly, I have acquired the knowledge, skills and experience to be an efficient and effective filmmaker.
