I escaped into this world on June 20, 1983, on a Navy base outside of Norfolk, Va. Shortly after, my family moved to Cincinnati, Oh, where I lived until I was 13. The summer before 8th grade I moved to the little town of Belding, Mi. While I didn’t like living there, I do however give the city and school credit for helping me release my inner creativity and the ability to look deep inside myself, since I had nothing else to do. After graduating I moved to the bigger city of Grand Rapids where I worked as a snowboard instructor and a chef while also playing in a number of bands, the most successful being Arkum. After the break up of Arkum I moved to Portland, Oregon with my cousin, however due to the bad job market I found myself back in Cincinnati after a few months. While living in Cincinnati I wrote and recorded a number of tracks on my own and in 2005 I got the privilege to go on the road with Whirlwind Heat, as their tech, while they were opening for Beck. Shortly after, I did some music for a film that has not yet been finished. In 2007 I moved to the east coast, living in NJ between Philadelphia and NYC. I started my comedy training in Philly at the Philadelphia Comedy Academy taught by the great Brad Trackman and had my first performance at the Helium Comedy Club. I now am going to begin my training at the Upright Citizens Brigade in NYC starting January 4, 2009 and hope to be doing some more shows soon. < less
