Leaving my day-job to become a full-time magician was a HUGE risk for my family. My wife and I have 4 kids so it was a choice that wasn’t taken lightly.

Risk-taking has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was part of a creative problem-solving program called Odyssey of the Mind – I did it from elementary school all the way through high school.
