The purpose of art is to lay bare the questions which have been hidden by the answers.

Want to know more about me or my craft? Here is my interview in ShoutOut LA from June 2021!

Want to hear me discuss doing standup? That interview is here from September 2024!

Here is a show I did when I had only been doing standup a few months.

Want to see me in your city? Get in touch!!

Originally from an amazing small town in Ohio, I have been working on my craft for most of my life.  Moving to LA seemed like the right next step for me to expand.  After years of studying at The Second City, iOWest and The Groundlings, I took some time off to decide if this was really the right direction for me.  During this time, I traveled the world for 7 months.  It was pretty much the best decision I have ever made.  It was a challenge, but was perfect.  I highly recommend you do that, too. 

I came home more resolved to stay working on my craft and explore new ways to do it. Without this trip, I don’t know where I would be.

Song: "Adventure" by Cheat Codes https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/adventure/id984063224?i=984063515 I quit my job, got rid of my apartment, stored my car, and booked a one way ticket to Stockholm. That was it for my plan - I just knew I needed to leave. As a result, I had the best year of my life and met some of the most incredible people. 6 months overseas and never the same. Thank you, everyone, that helped me along the way. I could never have done it without you guys.
