Accomplishments
I am blessed to have performed on "The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien", worked with Britney Spears for her "Circus" video, and appeared in the musical "Saturday Night Fever" on Broadway. I am also extremely fortunate to have been the stunt director & fight choreographer for the national tour of "Spider-Man Live!", which enjoyed sold-out performances at Radio City Music Hall.
Life is a thrilling adventure and with this new chapter as a co-author to my grandfather's memoir, I look forward to the world discovering his unique story, which is also my story as I follow the footsteps of The Grand Gypsy.
