Jose’s 20+ years in Chinese martial arts includes unrivaled success as America’s premier internal Chinese martial arts competitor.  In recent years, under mentoring by Mr. Stephan Berwick, one of the early pioneers in Hong King films (Highlander End Game, Blade 2, Matrix, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon), Jose has emerged as one of New York’s favored theater choreographers for his pioneering work with jazz playwright, Fred Ho. Jose directed the martial arts choreography for Ho’s off-Broadway premiere of Journey Beyond The West: The New Adventures Of Monkey at the Brooklyn Academy of Music's 1997 Next Wave Festival and Voice of the Dragon (aka) Once Upon aTime in Chinese America, a martial arts epic national tour produced by Big Red Media and toured by Columbia Artists in 2003.  His final collaborations with Mr. Ho included The Black Panther Suite at North Eastern University (2003), Journey Beyond the West at the Guggenhiem Museum NYC (2003), and Shaolin Secret Stories “Voice of the Dragon II” at the world famous Apollo Theater in NYC (2004). After his retirement from theatrical choreography, Jose attended the New York Film Academy in NYC.

Tom Colvin was trained as an audio engineer at the Institute of Production and Recording in Minneapolis. Because of this, he no longer sleeps and is never quite satisfied with his work. When he's not on set using his production rig or in his studio, he's probably working a concert, at ShopNBC for a shift, or at Minnehaha Falls dog park.
