My action reel for 2026
As I transition more into action acting, digging up roots from Richland Academy, and Columbia College Chicago; I look back and gotta thank that handful that had my back from day one. I wasnt born over here, or even close..... so getting out here was pretty much impossible from Mansfield Ohio; I didnt even know stunts really existed, I didnt know about SAG at 6 years old, had no help. I did choreographed fights in highschool, and wrecks to advertise for my dojo performing at half time shows, and meeting people in the business during Jr Olympics... I always wanted to come over here.. not sure what for, but against odds I did. Rude awakening when I get out here after working my way through competing, college ball, military proving myself with all the accolades; then get here where none of that matters... then have someone I look up to talk very bad about me to the point I lost mass following, but still following the people/team I had around me... just me singled out... Im POSITIVE ive lost work of some capacity along the way.. some of those people have since worked with me, and were confused when they figured out im a professional. I was only teaching things ive taught since I was 12 pretty much, and sharing what I have experienced so far and directed people to professionals I looked up to. You cant stop people from talking about you, even if they have no clue of your background... even people I teach that could mess up on set and say they take classes from me that I trained that one time 4 years ago....Ive had people get mad about me trying to get my stunt people paid after 3 weeks filming a short on a phone because they were struggling and didnt want to ask... Ill do it. This business is who you know, right place right time, who likes you, how you look, and whole lot a luck sometimes.... but stay true to myself, and live by the quote: "Never beg for a seat at the table, make your own". If you made it this far, your a real one. Thank you to handful
Found some of my old military gear, so naturally: 🎬🔫Achilles lost some of his stealth, lol. I think he changes when the camera starts rolling.
Wife on the 📸-fu @sunnythevampireslayer .
I'm a bit rusty, as I learned recently auditioning for something with tactical movement, a lot has changed as well.

10 minutes left of our 13 hour day in Thailand heat to shoot this scene.. 3 takes... this is also after I was stunt coordinating and fight directing all day with about 15 minutes to come up with and teach choreo to actors each fight scene... no one feeding lines back... didnt mess up once 💪🏾💪🏾👊🏽

Some of my action scenes from "Speed Train" as Merc Leader streaming on Apple and Prime.
This was one of the tougher shoots ive done choreographing along side the man @jayj__jakkrit and his amazing team that i miss; with majority actors and alot of stunts, and choreo on the fly within minutes of filming in warm months in Thailand. Also had the chace to fight direct, and acting in tough circumstances. Learned alot on this one 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Check out “Safe House” Oct 31st!! Teaser from prep, training and rehearsal. The actions gonna be fire!! Great job actors doing all your own stunts. Great job stunt team bringing the heat!! One of my favorite projects I put the action together for.🔥🔥🔥🔥
BTS filming an Inside Hollywood documentary all about action and stunts. @vswarn and I got to discuss, train, and casually recreate a few fight scenes including the fun fight between @thescottadkins and I in Accident Man 2. Filmed at my favorite gym @forj_la 🔥
Have patience and enjoy the process....i enjoy hitting that ceiling, and have had to re adjust how I've trained and prepared getting there from my knees to my heart the last 3 years.. more then I have the almost 30 years ive been training.. you really have to check yourself, and just be better honestly...its ok, if you truly LOVE this, you shouldnt expect it overnight or back... but it WILL get there....enjoy it, its like getting powers or getting them back 👊🏽. Stop complaining.. its over when YOU say it is 🥋🥊
Haven't posted in a bit. Motivation..this is before the heart stuff, before the knee stuff... dont settle yall... meeting wayy too many 20 to 30-year-olds, acting like "im not what I used to be, and im too old now" lol ....come on yall.. then get to what you used to be!!...so much more life to live... and it'll be alot more fun this way.... until the wheels fall off!! Then replace them and keep driving 🥋.
