Summary

Being a professional in multiple arenas of the workforce I bring a lot of perspective and adaptability to the table. I have valuable performing experience previously having worked for the Phoenix Suns AND Mercury Acrobatic Dunking Teams (Phoenix Hype Team and PHXtreme Team). There I did acrobatics on AND off the trampoline, engaged in crowd work, entertaining fans (17,000+), and helping backstage with various tasks to help with the production of an amazing viewer experience. I have other notable accomplishments having managed and organization (Arizona Tricking Society) with gym sessions for martial artists to train (myself included) as well as hosting an event with 80+ participants. I have the perspective of many sides of what high quality entertainment consists of by being a performer, videographer, event organizer and much more! My experience goes even further in regard to working with clients as a personal trainer and Flexologist to keep them strong, safe and healthy. There's more for me to list however you can find my various other qualifications through the rest of this document.
