Co-Director, Brendon SamuelCollaborated with Bullettrun and City Parks, I volunteered my time as a parkour instructor for over four years. As a private fitness coach, I helped young and adult clients build confidence and develop a healthy lifestyle. I was cast as a stunt and fitness model for Rag & Bone, Argo Group, Manscaped, and Mugsy Spring campaigns. Lastly, I helped lead and coordinate an after-school program for over four years at P.S. 9 The Sarah Smith Garnet School. Academically, I graduated with an associate’s degree in business management at the Borough of Manhattan Community College. Then I transferred to Brooklyn College and obtained a bachelor’s degree in business administration. Currently, I am pursuing a master’s degree at Brooklyn College.
Co-Director, SageBorn in Grenada, I immigrated with my family to the United States in 2002. Growing up in East NY, I began to practice parkour and established Team Impulse in 2008. For years, my team served as community leaders and fitness role models for men, women and children who lived around Lincoln Terrace Park. In 2015, I joined Bullettrun and was cast as the lead model and action star in Rag & Bone's 2016 Spring fashion film. Pleased with my unique talents and charm, Rag & Bone cast me in their 2017 and 2018 fashion films and exhibits. I have always performed with Bullettrun for clients such as Intel, Empire State Winter Games, Playstation and Telemundo. Besides working as a model and performer, I teach parkour as a certified instructor. Since 2016, I have also helped developed Bullettrun's parkour youth program in NYC Parks. I am fond of saying, "parkour is life" and truly believes this; since such a discipline has served as a way to not only improve my life, but those of my friends and family.
