About Me

This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!

Born in Reno, Nevada. Parents were nightclub entertainers. Moved to LA when I was a kid. Moved to Denver when I was a kid in an adult's body. Love all sorts of comedy & entertainment. Have a passion to enjoy life and bring joy into people's lives. No, really. I'm a loyal friend and a terrible enemy. I like Monopoly. And bowling, and stuff...

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

There are many I'd like to meet - the list is too long... but the short list includes, Brian Regan (comedian), Dick Van Dyke (actor), Paul McCartney (musician), and anyone who is really named Hortence. I'd also like to meet myself about 25 years ago and make a few suggestions... of coures, knowing me, I wouldn't have listened anyway...
