Since 1981 I have been involved in literally all aspects of entertainment, theatre, film, industrials, commercials, television, live stunt shows, amusement parks, educational programming, documentaries, "reality" tv, magic shows, clown shows, circus... Everything from birthday party shows to multi-million dollar stunt shows. Everything from web series' to major motion pictures. I am a producer, researcher, writer, designer, builder, director, technician and more.My variety of experience enables me to keep "issues" from arising in a production of any kind... I can also solve "issues" that arise. I can conceptualize and create a smooth operating production, or I can "fix" an already existing "broken" production.www.Fight-Director.org(There will be a new URL soon)

I worked on Reggie's local TV commercials back in the mid-late 80s. I worked on his children's television show pilot SPELL BOOK, a whole bunch of corporate videos and a few more TV commercials in the 90s. In the 2000s, I worked on his self-defense video, his martial arts-based aerobics video, a national TV commercial, several national infomercials, and his Reality TV show pilot. 2018 now, and I'm still adding to this: More infomercials, more television commercials, more industrials... and as of 2017, I've added a new skill... I've been handling film-to-digital-video transfers for Groff Films as well.

4 1/2 hour interactive Pirate show with stunts, fights, pyro, a REAL pirate ship, sharks, stingrays and a lobster dinner... IN the Caribbean! I was the original Show Captain, the Fight Captain, One of the Choreographers... and I played the original Captain (for the installation) and I aided with the safty rigging.

I only worked there for three months. I built a lot of very cool things including a GIANT two-sided wood and plexi rolling gun case for the NRA Convention in St. Loius in 2012. Then the company was forced to lay off 9 out of its 14 employees... D'oh!

I was in charge of the performers, technicians, safety checks, quality control, fight training, payroll, first aid/safety protocol, schedules, SCUBA gear, stunt equipment and I played the lead roll 2 days a week (in peak season 2 days a week translates to 8 shows a week!) for the installation and entire 1st season of PIRATES VOYAGE. I was offered a 2nd contract but family responsibilities brought me back to St. Louis.
