Meet Our Founder
Dalton is an Austin, Texas circus artist with experience in everything from quantum particle detectors to fire breathing. He found performing arts over a decade ago while completing his M.S. in quantum physics, subsequently finding opportunities with teams like Cirque du Soleil and Electric Daisy Carnival. Now, Dalton loves innovating with leviwand performance, immersive experiences, and state-of-the-art technologies to bring something altogether unique to corporate and private clients internationally and abroad. He hopes that by sharing his passion, others will recognize their own ability to live a life of their own imagination.
