Past Work
K-Swiss With Anna Kournikova – Commercial
This was a big-budget commercial shot in Los Angeles by the extremely talented Ken Arlidge of Aero Films with the wise Gary Jensen as the stunt coordinator. I ended up not only working as a parkour stuntman, but acting alongside of Anna Kournikova as well! You can see the Director’s Cut here. Probably the most amazing week of my life, everyone on the production was simply incredible and I got to work with my soon-to-be great friends Levi and Frosti for the first time.
It’s now showing on TV and you can see the real commercial on K-Swiss’s website!
Taurus World Stunt Awards – Performance
One of my most dangerous jobs because of bad weather conditions, but it was also one of the most exciting and fun events I’ve ever been to. We had 8 guys running all over a set the size of a city block that was made to look like a city block, rooftops and all. This one was under the amazing stunt performer and coordinator Billy Lucas, and it was just a blast to do. The crowd and everyone we talked to absolutely loved this performance, and I even got the chance to meet some celebrities. Check out some of the videos.
Mercedes Benz Unveiling – Performances
These were great performances put on for Mercedes Benz in Hong Kong and Macau for their unveiling of the C-Class line. The Tribe was hired to put on a three minute performance with three performers on custom built obstacles. The show went off without a hitch and the client was very pleased – even when we were surprised with a whole new obstacle set-up in Macau and had to re-choreograph everything without much rehearsal.
Freerunning for Mervyns – Commercials
Finally a local job in Seattle! They told me part of the inspiration to use traceurs in these commercials actually came from seeing my sampler and some other videos online. When I then showed up unexpectedly and rocked the audition, they were very surprised! Apparently they didn’t know that I was a Seattle local and was already was breaking into commercial stunts.
The company that threw this all together is called Digital Kitchen, an awesome group that seems to have done work for just about everyone. They were definitely a lot of fun to work with, as well as our great stunt coordinators Michael Hilow and Art Hickman who I’m sure I’ll be working with again some day.
Parkour in Tokyo for TWI – TV Episode
“Trans World International is the largest independent producer, packager and distributor of sports programs in the world” and they operate under the even larger company IMG World. They flew me out for a four day trip to Tokyo to film a 30min TV episode of their most popular show, “High 5 Extreme Sports.” A camera crew followed me around as I ran all through the crazy streets of Tokyo and met with the local traceurs. We captured some really beautiful footage and it should be scheduled to air around July on ESPN and Discovery channel.
Acting for Wizards of the Coast – Commercial
My original plan was to break into the stunt business through the skills I gained in parkour and gymnastics. But somehow along the way I started getting pulled into acting gigs with no stunts at all. This commercial has no flips, building jumps, or chase scenes. It showed for quite awhile on the G4 channel but didn’t get that great of distribution. I actually think they hired me solely because of the amazing beard I was growing at that point… Click to watch the video.

Hello!
I am so totally impressed not just with your stunts, which are awesome, but also with the way you have presented the videos, especially your combo of swfobject and lightbox.
Great videos, great stunts, great presentation! Great job!
