  • Bio

    A sarcastic, lovably dorky guy-next-door with hilarious, sharp perception. My attitude is open, genuine, and always relatable, with an ever-present down-to-earth charm and cynicism. Other than that, I’m pretty modest. Oh, and I can bench press a lot.

    Credits include Letterman, VH-1, CMT, XM Radio, Sirius Radio, the Bob and Tom Show, John Boy and Billy Show, the Boston Comedy Festival, and overseas tours to entertain our troops.

    Writing credits include: Saturday Night Live Weekend Update, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, The Gloomers, LateNet with Ray Ellin, National Lampoon Sports Minute, and New Media Comedy.

About me:

..   I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

I'm a stand-up comic and writer based in New York City, originally from Nashville, TN (but I'm not a guitar act). You can hear me regularly on XM, Sirius, and various syndicated shows. You may have seen me on VH-1, CMT, or CNN Headline News doing some comedic commentary. I write freelance for Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update, National Lampoon's Sports Minute, and the Complete Sheet. I also tour overseas every year to entertain our military...truly the greatest experience of my career. Living in NYC is incredible, but I still stay on the road on occasion working various clubs, so drop by a show....unless you're with a bachelorette party.

My humor is a combination of clever cynicism and boyish dorkiness to entertain everyone from college kids to their parents to drunk and rowdy types, because there's a piece of my personality that fits every one of those kinds of people. It's really for everyone, except bachelorette parties. Good Lord, I can't emphasize that last point enough.

Below is the video of me in Macon, GA where apparently I pissed off a bat.
