Flying a flag for our brave troops!
I have performed at 100’s of military bases all over the world. I perform for the US troop more than any other comic. They are my favorite shows to do. I will always do them. Many of the shows I do for military will not appear on my schedule as they are private shows for military only. Our troops are the greatest in the world!

Heroes
My dad is a big hero to me because he was a hard worker that gave up a few of his dreams to provide for us. He always betters himself. And he is also a good person. My mom..... she is just so caring and classy. They both have taken really good care of me and if I turn out half as good as they are, I am blessed. Many of my celebrity heros I have met. Some were a disapontment. I actually got to open for Richard Pryor, Milton Berle and Robin williams.
I was able to spar with Mohamed Ali when I was boxing at age 15, and have met him many times since then.
One of my biggest heros is Nelson Mandela. Id love to have dinner with him.
Some of my hero's are my comics friends! Anthony Ramos has been my friend since I was a kid. He is a hillarious comic and has Muscular Distrophy. T-Rexx is in my top 10 comics of all time! Stephen Glickman is just a bad ass!
My friends Andrew Dice Clay, Ken Pringle and Jimmy Walker are 2 people who always call me and give me advice and it is always good advice. They are my Hero's!
My friend Fred Burns died May 10th 2007. He was my mentor, comedy teacher, Yoda and Friend!
Who I'd like to meet: Comedy fans and other comedians and actors. Also comedy bookers and casting directors. Also Id love to meet Nelson Mandella and Oprah! Loren Michaels so he would put me on Saturday night live!
