I got straight A's in high school, graduated Magna Cum Laude from college with a degree in physics, then decided I wanted to be a professional juggler. For the next 15 years, that's what I did. During that time, I did many other things too. I worked in a lot of kitchens, eventually as chef and manager of a small kitchen in Denver; I worked at a food bank for a few years, a consignment furniture store and an eBay drop off store. I studied martial arts for 13 years, and taught them for a few as well, until I decided I had a lot more to learn. In the early 2000's, my wife and I bought a house then had a son. That combined with my not getting younger and the struggling economy for variety entertainment after 9/11 put an end to my juggling career. Recently I decided my life needed some direction. I finished a master's degree program to obtain my teaching license. I will be teaching high school math and eventually physics as well. I'm very excited to be reclaiming my education. Over the years, I have developed a liking for guitars, amps, mandolins and martial arts.Video of me back in the day.
