"Ever since I was a kid, I found a thrill for all things outdoors, fitness and sports," explains Tara Macken. "It wasn't until I moved to Los Angeles that I discovered I could turn my passions into a career, and that's when I got involved in stunt work. Since then, I've been high falling, ground pounding, MMA fighting, you name it! This work also led me to other career opportunities with directing and screenwriting."
