Biography

About
I'm from Florida. Small town kid, hard working family. Long story short, in the past couple of years (Over a decade!) I've completely uprooted from my house, job, commitments, everything and hit the road on that cliche "Running away to California" Music/Entertainment Industry kick. I had a little bit more motivation than your average guy having a bad day saying he's running to greener grass. I got a call from my producer/director friend whom I had the pleasure of working with in high school shooting a documentary about a fight club I help found with a couple friends.
4 years later an ... d many film festivals and awards, my phone rang as I was laying down in bed. It was Nico, my friend who flew out on a red eye to film a few kids in a rural town that was on the outskirts of Tampa who liked to for better terms beat each other up. He was calling to tell me that after all this time and much labor, he had turned this once high school hot shot doc that we were so proud of as kids into an actual feature film that was starting production in a week.
Now there was not much of a budget, but if I could find a way to get from Tampa, Fl -> L.A. , California the offer was extended for me to come kick it on set.
I'm a movie buff. I love stories that evoke emotion. I took T.V. production classes in high school. I wasn't able to finish college at Full Sail University (Film/Photography) for financial reasons. My family was going through an 8 year stretch where they lost their business in a fire and had to focus on keeping everything together for myself and my little brothers. This was my chance, my excuse, my call to get out.
I would have at this time never saw myself on an actual movie set, able to be a part of an actual production, much less one inspired by MY story. The next day I went to work and talked to my boss about the opportunity, and was told to pursue it. This is where the real story begins.
I have been on an adventure and I don't see it stopping anytime soon. I am Fresh home from a 6 month extended stay and cross country trip ending in the heart of NYC. I stayed in East Harlem and performed all over the area for many different styles of events and even produced a music video with a Brooklyn based outfit 'Pfaze 1'
"Get Hot!"
Now I'm back where it all started in my stomping grounds, ready to bring the heat and help improve the local community while bringing light to faces of excitable children and adults alike with a unique art that will surely leave everyone mesmerized
I have experience in multiple fire props such as contact and double staff as well as dragon staff and fire poi. I also eat and breathe fire.
I am a logistics and on-site special ops department lead at many Art/Music Festivals across the country
I also perform and instruct workshops at the same events to further the knowledge of this amazing craft and ensure proper safety precautions to maintain and solidify the longevity of this community of talented Artists.
I have over 10 years of experience, have performed/ instructed inside as well as outside with a fantastic safe track record at many art and music festivals nationwide and many reputable references if needed.
I would love to hear about your next event and see the excitement in the eyes of your guest as I demonstrate a professional and fun atmosphere while bringing the heat!!
I and my troupe are available to travel anywhere with governing stipulations. Do not let distance let you miss out on this amazing display of art!
Contact me for any questions regarding instruction, safety, prop-making, choreography, consultation for your upcoming event, and any other needs that I can help to ensure you have a Stress-free experience.

Communication prior to the event was very smooth and Stephen reached out to make sure that he could fit all needs of the party. He engaged with our guests and gave a show that young kids and older guests all enjoyed. Guests felt safe during the fire performance and Stephen made sure to create a good space to perform.

Physical Characteristics

Meet the Act

I am a traveling fire performer ,flow arts instructor as well as Live Event Coordinator.
I attend many art/music festivals as a Production team member/Stage tech, Event Staff, Harm Reduction specialist, Vendor/ Performer/ Instructor.
I also coordinate and am involved in many Corporate events, Music videos and community events such as The Great American Teach In, Fundraisers & Charities, Parades and local residencies.
I'm always working on building our community through entertainment, social media constructs and other forms of media as well. I'm very easy to communicate with and can fo ... llow directions
without a problem. I have always worked with a large number of people
throughout my career from leading my JROTC classes in high school to being
in charge of departments during festivals and also as a production worker
with other crew members. So I am very comfortable being in any size unit, solitary or
leading others as well.
I also promote and work with many brands as an ambassador to deliver a cross promotion of services.
Aiming to bring amazing events and memories to people everywhere I can is one of my goals and ambitions that I strive to deliver in all of my projects which cover many mediums of art and entertainment as well as event services.
I have experience in Hospitality and management as well as just about all positions that would lead up to a management role in this capacity. I feel like a very adaptable and diverse person that is capable of providing solutions and achieving the vision as well as providing a unique perspective.
After spending almost a decade in the event production industry I have had the pleasure of planning, building, curating and striking some of the best events including trade shows, music video production, galas, weekly/monthly nightclub residencies, local community events, parades, fundraisers, concerts, national art/music festivals as well as my fair share in the sales, customer service and food industries.
