(he/him) With a Bachelor’s degree in Human Evolution, a Master’s degree in Forest Ecology, and training from both the San Francisco Circus Center and the New England Center for Circus Arts, Vernon had the precise qualifications Nitid was seeking when he joined the company in 2021. Nowadays, when not coding, he can be found dancing or on a bike ride relentlessly in search of the perfect pastry.
