He most recently had roles on “Stranger Things”, “The Gifted”, “Miracle Workers”, “I’ll Be Watching”, “Willy’s Wonderland”, and the upcoming “Lone Star Bull” and “Megalopolis” where he got to work with the award winning Director Francis Ford Coppola.

He also grew up a Preacher’s Kid and was introduced early on to spiritual matters through Christianity. Although he identifies himself as a Christian this has not stopped him from studying other forms of spirituality and he has spent his whole life seeking and searching.
He spent 4 years in Japan, where he met his wife Ayami, and felt a strong connection to their philosophy and way of life.
Presently he resides in Fayetteville George continuing his work as a stuntman and his journey through life.
