What would you say is the most important trait or skill to develop for someone working in your field?

"I believe that learning how to manage fear is imperative in the field of escapology. It isn’t that I don’t feel fear when doing escapes, it is that I have learned how to control my fear and use it to my advantage. I believe that fear should not stop you from pursuing your dreams in life. Don’t let it be a limiting factor. You can learn how to do anything you set your mind to."

Share a success story - what are you most proud of accomplishing?

"I am very proud of our performance on America’s Got Talent. We performed an underwater escape called 'Cubed' that was made even more interesting because I had bronchitis. We performed on a stage in front of an audience of 3000 people. Despite the stress and tough 16-hour day, nothing stopped us from walking out on that stage and performing. We were unanimously voted forward by the judges and received a standing ovation from the audience."
