About
Stand up comedian, artist, actor, philosopher, and a humble musician with an enigmatic thought process a puzzling yet alluring curiosity with the nature of the human condition. Also elementally driven
Born and raised in forest hills, Michigan. Among the bible thumpers of the Midwest peninsula is where this origin story began but the plot thickens as the story goes on. With twists and turns, red herrings, and false heroes paving the way to the present moment.
Got started at the Sunday night funnies in grand rapids and have been addicted to performing ever since. I've done well over 500 open mics all over Michigan and a few out of state as well. Laff tracks in Troy, MI; comic con in Traverse City, MI; hollywood hotel, LA. I enjoy provoking thought and wonder in people. Shaking them awake, so to speak.
Another skill in my bag of tricks is a unique form of poi (flow art). I spin fire poi nunchaku or fire nunchucks.
