Mountains, Trees, Friends, Food, Stunt Driving. Not a bad Seattle stop. Highlight of the trip was definitely watching Twilight New Moon. What an amazing piece of cinema.
Thanks to @actiondrivingcollective for another great workshop and for celebrating my friends and I for achieving our dreams. Let's do it again soon!!
Been quiet on here for the last few months. I even received a text asking if I had given up on my dream. Little did they know, I have been living it. Yesterday the @nbconechicago crossover aired and I had the honor of being the stunt double for the character "Fletcher Cousins" on the Chicago PD Episode. Thank you to Tom Lowell for the opportunity!
Over the last few months I have become a SAG-AFTRA Stunt Performer and have earned 5 credits across different Chicago PD Episodes. The 1st of which coming in late October of last year when my curls were shaved to double a character on episode 7. While I miss my hair, it was the easiest decision I have ever made. I know my posts are always sappy and long so it'll try my best to keep it short.
I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities that I have been given. Incredibly proud of myself for pushing through injuries and self doubt, and never giving up. I am so thankful to have the support of mentors, family, and friends. This is only the very beginning. Big things are coming.
Stay Tuned.
Gracias por enseñarme que un legado no se define por tus éxitos y logros, sino por cómo influyes a quienes te rodean. Tu carácter amable y tranquilo trajo tanta alegría a todos tus hijos y nietos, incluyendo a mi hermanita Victoria, quien te quería muchísimo. Me siento muy afortunado de haber compartido algunos recuerdos tuyos hace apenas dos semanas. Descansa en paz, Abuelito.
Thank you for teaching me that legacy is defined not by your acholades and accomplishments, but by how you affect the ones around you. Your gentle and easygoing nature delivered so much joy to all your children and grandchildren, including my baby sister Victoria, who loved you so much. I'm so blessed to have shared some memories of you as recently as two weeks ago. Rest in peace, Abuelito.
What a blessing to be absolutely exhausted at the end of every day. Doing what I love. This doesn't feel like work. I am forever grateful for this opportunity to perform for the first time.
Despite not being able to train due to some foot injuries I've been dealing with, I set out to beat my time of 52:13 last year. This race was such a tough mental battle, I really had to dig deep and convince myself that the pain was worth it. I had to really think about my "why" I dont do this because I enjoy running... I hate it, actually. But the feeling of accomplishing a difficult goal you set for yourself is unmatched. I do this for the younger version of me, who didn't think he could accomplish anything in life. It's remarkable how strong the human will is.
DO HARD THINGS
Excited to announce that I have been cast in Mirage Entertainment's "Splashbucklers" a pirate themed live comedy stunt show! The show will run from July 12th - August 17th at Lake Compounce in Bristol, Connecticut!
I know it's always some dramatic sappy caption from me, but I can't help it yall. Life has been so crazy recently. Words can not describe the emotions I felt when I received the offer letter. 4 months ago, I decided to go all in on this career. My whole life, all I wanted was to entertain. I just couldn't figure out my place within that realm. I felt as if I had no talent, so I opted to work backstage. Every time I would watch others perform, I wondered what it would be like if I took the stage. But my doubt and lack of self-confidence kept me away from ever trying. I never thought I had the talent necessary to be a performer. But apparently, I always did. That need to climb every tree, to jump between buildings, backflip off the teachers desk in French class. All those random instincts lead me to where I am today. I can't thank my stunt mentors enough for all the advice and guidance. All the grueling training has been preparing me for this opportunity, and I couldn't be more excited to get started.
I can't believe I get to be a pirate yall this is so crazyyy!!
A dream, born during my darkness hour, has produced my brightest light. I had to leave behind all that was familiar, and start a new life. Is it normal to shed tears of joy almost every day? I have fallen in love, not with a person, but with life. At last, chasing my purpose. Training with amazing people every day. Being a part of some amazing projects. Reconnecting with old friends. I can't believe it's only been two months. I still have so much to learn and experience. I am so grateful for the people in my life right now. I often wonder what I did to deserve such amazing support. I can only hope I show the same love back to you all. I feel so much joy every day, and I wish I could share the feeling with all of you.
