Sarcastic.  Drama Queen.  A Few Channels Short of Cable. Not the best skills for a career on Wall Street maybe, but PERFECT for the life of a comedian!

  It all started with a comedy class in Atlanta, which led to comedy clubs, bars… anywhere there was audience.  Eventually it became clear that this was what made me, and others, happy.  And it’s been my life ever since.

  Like all my comedy heroes, I’ve done voice-over work for the Navy.  I’ve also participated in a number of charity fundraisers (there’s usually an open bar), and played the coveted role of “Atmosphere” on a couple of TV shows.

  One of my brightest and proudest moments was recently getting to work with Larry Miller - One of the all-time greats in the comedy business!  He watched my set and took the time to talk to me about comedy...AND said how much he enjoyed my show! I have his laughter on tape, so I can prove it.

  I've  worked with so many fantastic comedians, including: Larry Miller, Christopher Titus, Billy Gardell, Todd Yohn, Phil Palisoul, Greg Hahn, John DiCrosta, Jeff Caldwell, Tim Wilkins, Melanie Maloy, Carl Rimi, Dale Jones, Eddie Gossling, Eric Hunter, LA Hardy, Spanky Brown, Tim Pulnick, Pedro Lima, and Ricky Reyes.  And I've shared a lot of laughs with audiences at great clubs like Side Splitters, Improv, Laff Spot, Wiley's, GoodNights, and McCurdy's.
