Born in Indiana, Jamie worked for many years in the Caribbean as a diver and boat captain. He moved to San Francisco to pursue a successful career in the special effects industry. Before this, he got a degree in Russian, became a wilderness survival expert, animal wrangler and chef.
Jamie worked for a company in San Francisco before opening his own studio, M5 Industries, where he still works with toy prototypes and robotics projects, as well as allowing it to be the set for the majority of the experiments on the show. With his beret, immaculate white shirt and thick moustache, Jamie is quite a character and takes the role of “the voice of reason” to Adam.
Married to a science teacher, Jamie assures us that every experiment seen on the show has an educational role. Adam and Jamie always apply very rigorous scientific standards, calculating, measuring velocity and power, and projecting measurements. Although sometimes it’s entertaining to see them failing to prove or disprove a myth, they will always find a way of scientifically solving a problem.
Like Adam, Jamie also worked in special effects for sagas such as The Matrix and Star Wars: Episode I and II. In the advertising field, his effects and prototypes can be seen in spots for popular brands such as Nike and 7Up.
Jamie has created many prototypes, some of which can be seen on the show, although the majority end up being used for completely different purposes than those for which they were originally conceived!
