Born in Virginia and raised in Tennessee, Frost began studying Chinese martial arts at the age of four and would later become the youngest individual promoted to 9th Level Black Sash (Grand Master) within his martial arts lineage. He eventually founded United Martial Arts in Jacksonville, North Carolina, where he spent decades mentoring students and instructors while promoting discipline, confidence, and personal growth.

Performing professionally since 2005 through Frost Magic Productions, he has entertained audiences throughout North Carolina at schools, theaters, military functions, corporate events, fundraisers, and community celebrations. He served three consecutive terms as President of the Jacksonville, North Carolina Assembly of the Society of American Magicians and has performed before audiences exceeding 3,000 attendees.
Frost served in the United States Marine Corps from 1995 to 1999 and later returned to the School of Infantry-East as a Marine Corps Combat Instructor, where he trained more than 3,000 entry-level Marines during the Iraq and Afghanistan era. He subsequently continued supporting Marine Corps education and training through civilian service, helping pioneer simulations-based training initiatives at Camp Geiger.
Following military service, he also served as a police officer in Jacksonville and Surf City, North Carolina.
