Bio

      At the age of 17 I dropped out of high school because I got kicked out of my house. I got a job in the construction business and started working on getting my GED in the winter. I received my GED before my class graduated from Slippery Rock Area High School.

      I received proficient scores in mathematics and science. Knowing I didn't want to labor the rest of my life I began to look for something else. With my love for driving and rally racing I started to look into driving school. While I was looking I stumbled across a stunt academy in Australia. At that point I decided that I wanted to pursue becoming a stunt man rather than becoming a personal driver. While I was trying to raise money for stunt academy a friend taught me how to breathe fire. Being the natural entertainer that I am, I started breathing fire for friends at parties.

      Knowing that Hollywood is a hard industry to make it in I started going to the Art Institute of Pittsburgh for Digital Media Production. While attending the art institute I did a number of videos for students and graduates. Among the videos that are more popular are the human torch and the car surfing video.

      I started doing more and more shows and joined up with Tattoo King Pin to perform a benefit for Children's Hospital Care free fund. In the spring of 2005 I withdrew from the institute because I wanted a more narrow and direct film/movie education not the more broad tv education.

      On July 13th 2005 I went to shoot a video for class with a few others. While traveling on 279 south towards Robinson to do a car stunt shoot, we were passing a semi-truck and I saw the perfect video opportunity. I got out of the car and started to ski while a passenger filmed. Soon moving to the roof, then to the trunk to perform more car stunts before returning back into the car. At the Robinson exit we were pulled over and arrested.

      The film was taken with my permission to release it to the media. I soon became known world-wide as the Parkway surfer. My video being shown on all local news stations as well as nationally on Fox news, CNN, USA Today, NBC, Good morning America, and many other television channels across the nation. This video has also been seen all over Europe and other continents with offers from German TV for more video footage that was turned down.

      Two and a half months later Isabella Marie Crawford, my first child, was brought into the world providing meaning, hope and inspiration to my life. I'm making my dreams into my daughters reality so that she doesn't have to know what its like to have to struggle. She is now approaching one year old and I am expecting my second child. Which is making it all the more worth-while.

      In June of 2006 I officially started Adren-Aline Productions. Bringing shows and videos to the public unlike many have see before. Adren-Aline's first public show was Horse Trading days which is held yearly in Zelienople. It's a three day festival and the first night landed us on the front page of the Butler Eagle. Throughout this festival we amazed hundreds of people with our performances. We've stunned out audiences with the classic bed of nails, fire breathing, juggling dangerous objects, and our intense performances. We have many more shows to bring to you; many in which have been performed before and more that have never been done before.
