John got his start in the film business as a stunt man in 1990 on the film The Perfect Weapon. At the age of 9, he started studying boxing, kickboxing, gung fu, kali and escrima and eventually Bruce Lee's art of Jeet Kune Do under Dan Inosanto and Richard Bustillo at the original Filipino Kali Academy in Torrance, California. With over 100 film and television credits he is now one of the top Stunt Coordinators and Fight Coordinators in Hollywood. HYPEBEAST named John one of the top 5 Stunt Coordinators / Fight Coordinators for his work on the Sony AMC television show Preacher. He continues to set himself apart with the ability to fight choreograph, stunt coordinate and second unit direct entire action sequences.
