Soap opera star Ingo Rademacher is best known to audiences as the charismatic Jasper "Jax" Jacks on ABC's "General Hospital." Rademacher originated the role of "Jax," having first aired on "General Hospital" in January of 1996. His other television credits include "Hawaii Five-O," "Titans," "Veronica's Closet," and "According To Jim."

As an athlete, Rademacher has amassed an extraordinary list of accomplishments. As a youth, he was a ski champion and a competitive equestrian. As an adult, he has competed at a high level in beach volleyball and triathlons (winner of the Nautica Malibu Triathlon, celebrity division for three consecutive years). He took the pole position in the 2005 Long Beach Grand Prix and he recently completed the grueling 32-mile Molokai to Oahu "Channel of Bones" stand-up paddle board race - all this when he wasn't on the track racing dirt bikes or street bikes. Rademacher moved to Hawaii in 2012 to pursue his passion for the sport of stand-up paddle board racing.

He is competing in season 16 of "Dancing With the Stars" alongside professional partner Kym Johnson.

He and his wife, Ehiku have two sons, Peanut and Pohaku.
