IMDbProStarmeterSee rank
"Trainset" was born in a small town in western North Carolina. Growing up poor, and from a broken home with no siblings, he chose to beat the odds. He knew that he was gifted as a true artist from the day he was born. He finished high school, and went on to learn some trades. Since he was a child, he has been drawn to the mechanics of how things work, and has became an accomplished master carpenter and builder. He also spent many years of his early life operating heavy equipment and bulldozers, which he still does occasionally.

Trainset was always intrigued of how movies were made, and in his early 30's he stumbled onto the abandoned "Abyss" movie set that would forever change his life. Since that day, Trainset has become an accomplished set builder and special effects artist. In 2013, he was hired as a set builder for the television show "Hillbilly Blood", and 3 days into production he was cornered by the producers and told that he was on the wrong side of the camera, and offered him a role in the series. Even though this was a reality show where he plays himself, he caught the acting bug.

Today, he splits his time between acting, working various departments within the movie industry, and building custom projects for close friends and his movie industry family.
