About Me

I've set up this space to let people stay in touch me on a personal level as well as giving those millions of fans that simply adore my comedic and musical skills a way of knowing where I may be popping up with an improv show, movie, a rock show, or at a comedy club! Feel free to explore what the space has to offer and thank you for your time and support.

Check out the next shows I'm involved in:

I periodically send out news on what's going on in the V-World as well as some of the various projects I'm involved in. It gets delivered right to your inbox and is incredibly fun for you to read and for me send ;-).

My Interests

Comedy

Second City Chicago - I am currently performing there and participating in improv opportunities! Salsation Theatre Company - I’ve been associated with the troupe since 2005’s "The Fanta Menace" sketch revue. I’m producing our newest revue The Devil Wear Chanklas . Look for more from me and Salsation in the future. Recapitulation - This is my killer musical improv troupe!

I'd like to meet:

Billy Corgan I've met him a few times but never got any "quality" time to thank him and ask him stuff I've always wanted to. I'd also like to have him assist me in my music career if he likes the tunes :) Jimmy Chamberlin The best drummer on the planet! Eddie Murphy , Richard Prior , Carlos Mencia , and Rodney Dangerfield These guys are some of my favorite comedians. I've met Carlos a few times as a fan but would love to meet him as a peer!
Young M.C. First artist that I listened to that allowed me to believe that I could do music for a living.
