A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ME
I have been an active member of the ISA - International Slackline Association, based out of Switzerland. I have devoted a lot of my time to promoting, contributing and legitimizing the sport of slacklining. I have made documentaries, tutorials, event videos, presentations, certifications, and live streams for monumental events in the history of this sport.
With the onset of new A.I. technologies entering the design world, I welcome these tools and use them in my techniques to create higher quality and faster results. The work does not end with these technologies, rather enhance the possibilities of what we already know. As this field evolves, I recognize the importance of remaining open to learning new tools regularly.
I thrive working with other people while also managing myself and my own timeline. I have the discipline and organization to make big projects comprehensible while paying close attention to the small tasks needed to complete the big picture.
In my free time I am also a model, circus performer, extreme sports athlete and teacher. You can see some of my work below.
