He then transitioned to a personal trainer and after a chance encounter ended up working with Zac Efron for his role in "The Lucky One". Now he's moved on to being a stunt performer working on films such as The Purge, Birds of Prey, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, to name a few...and now he’s beginning a new journey into the craft of acting.
