I was born and raised in rural Danville, Illinois. I began acting and performing stand up comedy in 1985 while a student at Wabash College in Indiana. After college, I moved to Indianapolis and continued performing as a stand up comedian, while attending law school. In 1990, I relocated to NJ, and began performing stand up comedy in New York City. Since my arrival in New York City, I have performed in over 50 venues, (including comedy clubs, lounges, colleges, and restaurants) and in thousands of shows in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana, and California. My love for performing is just as fresh today as it was during my first performance. Although a significant portion of my performance background is in comedy, my love of acting has been, and continues to be, just as strong. I am looking forward to working with individuals in the business that will enable me to utilize both my comedic and acting talents.
