I have been working in the film industry since 1992.
I started in the industry working for John and Betty Thomas, under Betty and the stunt world I worked as a performer and in the areas of safety and training for actors. While working under Betty I had the fortunate experience to be a personnel trailer for Anthony Hopkins, Aleck Baldwin, Robin Williams, Thora Birch, Christina Ricci, Anna Clumpsky and many others. During that time Betty was one of the top stunt co-ordinators and under John Thomas I worked in the areas of special effects and rigging.
Since my time with Betty and John I have been co-ordinating, performing, rigging and doing stunt safety on many shows and commercials. I have co-ordinated on shows with actors like Danny Glover and young actors such as Zoe Wiesenbaum. I have worked with many of the top directors and stunt people in our business. My time spent on set co-ordinating, performing, rigging and doing safety for stunts has given me a more well rounded outlook on any film or commercial. My skills can save you time and money in many areas of your filming!
