"Born in 1968 London, England. In the early 70's fell in love with action films, westerns, WW2 films and the art of stunt work and cinema. Started to teach my self stunts at aged 9 by falling down the stairway of our family house. So realistic was the fall my mother was in shock after witnessing my first live stunt performance for her as she entered the front door shopping bags in hand. I survived the stair tumble unharmed.. but picked up a few bruises from my mother. It was soon after this I got my first professional job recreating the stunt for Uncle Ken . . He had heard what happened and wanted to see for him self. After agreeing a fee of $1 and promising not to tell my Mum. I performed the stunt completely unharmed. At 15 I studied acting at the Anna Scher Theatre in Islington London while training in many sports including trampolining, Karate, Judo, climbing, Diving and horse riding and many other adventure activities. After 2 years of working for The American Adventure Theme Park as a stunt performer , aged 22, and having some small stunt parts in Television shows I was accepted onto the British Actors Equity Stunt Register in the UK. Some of my first stunt jobs was working for great stuntman like Roy Alon, Peter Brayham, Alf Joint, Greg Powell, Marc Boyle and many more... great times and great mentors" Worked mostly during the 90's and early to 2010. At 52 I Box twice a week and run 20ks per week. I also teach stunt work fundamentals to beginners.
