Biography

John's remarkable martial arts journey commenced at a remarkably early stage in his life, with memberships in no fewer than two esteemed Tae Kwon Do demonstration teams already under his belt by the time he had reached the tender age of just 11 years old. His unwavering dedication and exceptional skill ultimately culminated in his attainment of a prestigious Black Belt at a remarkably young age of 13, a testament to his unrelenting passion and perseverance in the pursuit of mastery.

John's aspirations were initially centered on pursuing a career as a Navy Seal, driven by a strong sense of purpose and a desire to serve his country. However, his plans were dramatically altered when a severe motorcycle accident occurred, resulting in a devastating outcome that ultimately precluded him from enlisting in the elite special operations force.

John's unwavering determination and passion for learning enabled him to overcome any obstacles, ultimately leading him to achieve his academic goals. Upon completing his undergraduate studies, he was awarded a double major from the University of Arizona, with a unique combination of Russian and Communication degrees.

John's personal life underwent a profound transformation when he crossed paths with the captivating Eliana Alexander during a HapKi Do class, a serendipitous encounter that would ultimately set the stage for a romantic connection that would unfold with remarkable swiftness.

As fate would have it, John and Eliana's chance meeting blossomed into a fruitful collaboration on the feature film Agenda, released in 2007. This cinematic endeavor marked a significant milestone in John's career, as he not only shared the screen with Eliana but also took on the role of stunt double for the esteemed actors John Bennett Perry and Robert Rusler.

John and Eliana, a talented duo, have taken their passion for the performing arts to the next level by co-producing and co-starring in an upcoming television series. This ambitious project, penned by the multi-talented Eliana, showcases her exceptional writing skills. As they bring this vision to life, John and Eliana will be playing complex characters, with John also assuming the role of choreographer for the series' action-packed fight scenes.
