Brett Solomano is a Screen Actors Guild Award nominated stuntman for his work on The Walking Dead. He has worked on many tv and film productions performing as a stuntman and actor. Always entrepreneurial and fascinated by systems, he is a real estate investor and has started several businesses, including a semi truck rental and intermodal container transport business.

He is the current Guinness World Record Holder for driving a semi truck (with a 53ft trailer!) in reverse for 55.34 miles (89km!) – in four hours!! A sabbatical to Bali in 2013 volunteering at a school made him realize that he really enjoyed working with youth and teaching others, especially life skills like self awareness, emotional intelligence, how to learn and mindfulness. Always striving for an “aha moment” in himself and his students.

This new excitement for teaching led him to then work at a camp just outside of Sydney, Australia for disadvantaged youth from juvenile justice programs and later work at an after-school program in Melbourne teaching life skills to 3-15 year olds through gymnastics, parkour, rock climbing and other physical activities.

Brett has been an instructor ina variety of forms through his varied careers in between stunts, often taking on training and development roles in the companies he has worked for and within. A CDL instructor and training program developer at Katlaw Truck Driving School, workshop facilitator for Hub Melbourne and Laneway Learning, drift instructor, expert witness for court cases…the list goes on.

Brett has a natural curiosity for life and loves to explore his edges to find out why they are there – for protection? Or are they just a resistance to overcome?
