D. Vincent "Sento" Ashby is an SAFD Actor Combatant with 20+ years of performance experience, from walk-about costumed street characters and historical reenactments to film stunts and stage fight direction.

He received his B.A. in Liberal Arts (with fields in Theatre and Gender/Diversity Studies, minor in Sociology) from Murray State University in 2017, and his M.L.A.S. (with emphasis on Sociology and Stage Combat) from Western Illinois University in 2020. In pursuit of his master’s, he maintained a 4.0 GPA, which earned him a nomination to the Phi Kappa Phi honor society — of which he is now a lifetime member.
