Well, first of all, let me say thank you for stopping by and checking out my website.  But enough about you, this site is about ME!!!

I suppose I should start by telling you a little about myself, after all, that's what a bio is, isn't it?  I was born in Rockford, IL to very wealthy parents.  However, after being kidnapped by gypsies, I was sold to the ones I have now.  We left Rockford when I was nine and headed for New Jersey, where I stayed for only 3 years (THANK GOD!!) Kidding, Jersey was great.  I then found myself in the state I consider home: North Carolina.  After graduating from high school, I ended up at Arizona State University, where after just one semester I ended up on the dean's list..... of academic probation.  A 1.5 GPA will do that to you.  However, I did learn how to open beer bottles with my teeth and make brownies (nudge, nudge, wink, wink)

After a couple years knocking around Phoenix, I headed north to Minnesota, spent a year and a half as a DJ and somehow then ended up in Aspen, Colorado.  Two years in Aspen was definitely enough, not that I didn't love it, but my liver said it was time to go.  So I headed back to Minnesota for a few years.  It was there I first tried my hand at stand-up comedy.  It seemed I finally found something that came pretty naturally to me, so in 2005 I "closed the shop, sold the house, and bought a ticket to the west coast".  I now call Los Angeles home, and after being here only a short while, found myself booked at some of LA's hottest comedy venues such as The Improv, The Ice House, and The Comedy Store just to name a few.

People always ask me "where do you get your material?"  Well, if living in seven different states, having every job from tan salon manager to iron worker, and coming from a dysfunctional family (comic prerequisite) doesn't give you any material, I don't know what does.

Thanks again for stopping by.  If you have any questions or comments don't hesitate to shoot me an email or come by and check out a show.  Hope to see you there.

I wish you all the best and remember, don't trust whitey! 

Thanks again for stopping by and be sure to check the site often, as I will be updating it as frequently as possible.
