Warren Hammond

Warren Hammond is an American juggler who lives in Colorado. He learned how to juggle in 1994 in his hometown, Roanoke, Virginia from juggler David Bear Stuart. He was married to juggler Bekah Smith.
Warren performed for 3 years with the Off-Broadway show Lazer Vaudeville with Cindy Marvell and Carter Brown. He is most well known for his work with juggler Reid Belstock (formerly of the Stoolies) as the duo Smirk (directed by Lloyd Brant).
Warren served as the IJA championships director in 2012 and as a judge in 2013. He was also elected to the Board of Directors for the 2014-2016 term.
In the summer of 2020, Warren was diagnosed with an Autoimmune disease called Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS). While not life threatening, and very treatable, there is currently no cure. The stresses and lifestyle needed to continue working as a professional juggler were too much, and he decided to retire in 2021 from his juggling career. He continues to love juggling and does it as a hobby now and has stayed involved in the juggling world while moving on to a new career as an eSports caster.
