Born in the Monterey county in California, but raised in Texas; Miguel Gonzalez (Jenin) was a troubled boy who grew up in a broken home. His father Fransisco Gonzalez abandoned his family in 1994 in Salinas CA. His mother Imelda Padilla manage to keep them afloat by working 3 jobs (from the fields, to trucking. Her absence created a ripple in his life that caused Jenin to fall into the gang life. By the age if 15 he had committed many minor offenses, was truant over 3/4th of the year, had been placed under probation for 2 years. It was only after he was removed from that environment, and was found by Eric Briley (former OU Gymnastics Coach) that he found him self wanting to succeed in life. With a new found passion and a coach who believed in him, Jenin soon became top gymnast in the varsity gymnastics team at Saginaw High school in 2006. After graduating High school in 08', Jenin found him self learning a new discipline, The Art of Movement (Parkour). In 2009 Parkour had not been fully established in Texas. Jenin found him self creating a team to be able to help people learn the movement, and in 2010 was found by Russel Towery, he offered his first national television spot on "The Good Guys". Since then Jenin has spent countless days training his body and mind to further his abilities and perfect his craft. From acting, fire breathing, stunt falls, martial arts, and parkour, to the circus arts, Jenin has pushed himself to become something greater than anyone ever expected him to be. His passion and journey for film and art continues to this day. Show less «
