Mike Smith, originally from Houston, Texas started his multi-sport athletic career early. He grew up a lifelong practitioner in various martial arts, riding horses and motocross. On a diving scholarship, Mike graduated from Auburn University. He then went on to high diving in live shows at Magic Mountain and MGM Grand, which led to an amazing ride.

He's been James Bond, Batman and countless heroes driving fast cars, riding wild horses and braving 100ft falls. Soon after transitioning into the world of stunt coordinating and second unit directing Mike was asked to be a member of one of Hollywood's most prestigious groups, Stunts Unlimited, and has served on the Board for multiple terms.
