On-Screen Combat

I’ve learned and practiced performative combat since I was a teenager and began Professional Wrestling; since then I’ve studied in various combat disciplines (both real and performative) under a variety of skilled mentors, in order to be a more well rounded actor, fighter, and martial artist.

Fighting For the Screen

Studying Martial arts at a young age; while playing Rugby, Baseball, and working as a child actor all fueled this exploration in my youth until I began Professional Wrestling at 15 years old. In the wrestling ring I honed my physicality, improvisation skills, and character building techniques; as “MAXWELL M1 ABRAMS” all while pushing my body to its extreme limits. While pursuing my Acting degree at Muhlenberg College, I stepped away from the ring professionally; and I found in my studies that Stage combat was a natural progression to incorporate my physicality. I had the honor of training under Fight Master Mike Chin. I am a Yellow Sash in Bak Fu Pai (White Tiger Kung Fu) and I study Brazilian Jiu Jitsu under the Tutelage of Hugh Fitzgerald and the team of 87NorthEleven Productions.

-Fun Fact: I also love choreographing and directing fight scenes; as much as I like to be in them!
