The offer came up to produce and direct Air Combat, 13 1-hour documentaries for US News and A&E.”

“Though this meant I could no longer stay with Baywatch, it was an irresistible opportunity to take on a new and very different challenge. I never anticipated 20 years of incredible life adventures.” Monte said he had “always wanted to produce and direct” his own films. He also revealed that: “About ten years ago I was hired by US News to do some news specials.”

We have filmed in China, Great Britain, and many other wonderful places.”
