When I started my career as a stuntman/filmmaker the last thought on my mind was that my son would follow in my footsteps. My son was a great baby. Aways slept through the night. Was always smiling and happy for the most part.

From my Little baby to young stuntman in training.

I never pushed him or asked him to train with me I did, however, expose him to my wonderful team and our private training sessions. I would always train on Wednesdays. I am divorced and Wednesday and every other weekend where my time with him.

When he was not in school I would bring him with me to the gym. He would run around doing all kinds of crazy stuff but never really took interest in what the team or I were doing. That all changed when he turned 14. On the day he just joined in, he was a natural. I was amazed how much he picked up and how quickly.

His frist union stunt job on Bluebloods at age 16.

With only a few months to go before his 18 birthday. No days he trains with me on regular bases. He is very excited to get back onset and start his career.

As a dad It makes me nervous. Stunt people do get hurt. Not so long ago a young stunt woman got serously hurt and one of my best friends got 6 of his ribs broken. I been lucky and never had a serous injury but do have a bit of wear and tear that common in stunt performers my age.

I pray I done a good job as a dad to get him ready for life, as well as his new career.
