Thayr's roots trace back to The Farm, a unique community in southern Tennessee, where he was born and raised. He began his Martial Arts journey at just ten years old and later honed his skills in the circus arts, learning from talented performers of the Romanian State Circus. With over five years of touring under his belt, he dazzled audiences worldwide with his Rola Bola balance act. Thayr has trained intensively with Scott Reitz and his team at International Tactical Training Seminars (Los Angeles, CA) for seven years. He is a member of the Hollywood action film company, 87eleven.
