Christian Sereika in Funny or Die Video

Christian Sereika, one of our Action Sports Athletes, was recently in a video posted on Funny or Die, and it is pretty funny. So far more the video has more than 21k views! Christian appears at the beginning and then he gets more camera time at the 2:49 mark. You can check out the video HERE. Warning, this video has some profanity, so please keep that in mind if you click to watch it.

We have been managing Christian for years now, and he is every bit as cool and down to earth as he is talented (and good looking). We are looking forward to many more years of exciting stuff ahead with Christian.

Stacey and Our Oahu Crew

Aaron, Honolua, Bree, Stacey, Shez, and Kelsey

Yesterday Stacey Eastman, President of Pulse Management, took a quick trip to the North Shore of Oahu to check in our our crew of models and athletes out there.  Fashion Show season is about to kick off in New York in a little over a week, and Stacey will soon be out there with out models for the shows, so he wanted to check in with our group in the islands before he heads out to the opposite side of the country.

Stacey met up with Bree Hanneman (model/scout/photographer), Aaron Jessee (surfer), Honolua Blomfield (surfer), Shez Hanneman (model), and Kelsey Hussey (a model that we introduced you to yesterday).  With Stacey located in Kona now, it is a quick trip to see this group and we are hoping to get some more momentum going on these amazing people, because the world needs to know all of them. Stay tuned everyone!

"Opening up of the Hawaiian Islands is going to bring many fruits to all. Hoping a short 30 min flight from Kona to North Shore and see what our amazing scout Bree has been doing is well worth the sunset flight home to my wife and kids. We are blessed. Mahalo Island kids." -Stacey Eastman

Tyson Bowerbank for Zumiez

Tyson Bowerbank is one of our Action Sports athletes and we are stoked to see his new ad for Zumiez.  Tyson was one of the top three finalists in last years Zumiez Best Foot Forward skate competition, and his video is definitely worth checking out if you haven't seen it already.  You can see the video of Tyson, and the other top three finalists HERE.  Tyson is one of the most talented skateboarders we have ever seen and we are proud to have him as a part of our Pulse Management Action Sports team.

Andy Blunt

Most of you know us as model management, but we also manage action sports athletes.  Action sports are a passion of Pulse Management President, Stacey Eastman.  Where Stacey exceeds is finding crossover opportunities for the athletes within the fashion world.  One example of this is when we booked Andy Blunt, who we represented for a few different action sports, a campaign with Abercrombie and Fitch.  This is where we differ from regular model or sports management.  We exist and thrive in both markets.  We recently got the following message from Andy, and were so touched that we had to share it with you all.

"Stacey Eastman has run Pulse Management for years.  He got me the Abercrombie job back in college and quickly became a good friend.  He didn't get me the booking by sending me out on a million auditions or just sending my info out (though he can and does send his talents' info out to all of the important contacts).  He knew how to get me in front of the decision makers and got it done.   Since then Pulse has grown immensely.  Stacey is big-time and connected to all the right people to grow his talents' careers properly.  More important than any of that is that Stacey is a good man and great guy.  He's a father and family man, active LDS and all around is one to do the right thing be it with his talent or family and friends.  He is stand-up.  When I modeled he took care of me like an older brother would and looked out for my best interests.   He handles high-fashion models as well as action sports athletes.  In fact he represents a couple of good surfers.  He has family ties to San Diego and is a surfer, snowboarder and kiteborder.  He gets San Diego and those of us that grew up there and will get you and your boys immediately and knows the surf industry..." - Andy Blunt

Christian Sereika's New Commercial

We are loving our boy Christian Sereika, in this commercial for United Healthcare.  Christian is one of our Pulse Management Action Sports athletes, and who we have been managing for years.  We found him when he was just a teenager in Utah, and now he's living in LA and landing commercials like this one.  Congrats Christian, we have a feeling you are just getting started.

Matt Chase at Windells Camp

To say that Matt Chase is having a good summer would be putting it mildly.  He recently finished up two sessions at Windells, a camp dedicated to the progression of snowsports athletes.  To help put things into context many of the Olympians and X Games athletes attend or have attended Windells, so in the snowboarding world it is a huge deal.  

While Matt has been at Windells, we haven't been the only ones tracking his progress, he has been noticed by a lot of the press that attends the camp sessions. His photos were featured in this post on Yobeat.  Onboard Magazine included him in their video/write up of Windells, where he got a shout out in the second sentence of the article!  Whitelines Mag are proving to be big Matt Chase fans, especially in this article. Transworld Snowboarding Magazine also too note of Matt and included him in this photo recap they did.

Matt was also featured in some killer video recaps of Windells, but we are going to leave you hanging and post them next week.  So make sure you check back, you won't be disappointed!
