I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm a stand up comedian and writer living in Kansas City. I just published my first book called the Greyhound Diary. You can buy it at Amazon . George Mortimer wrote a cool review for it here . I also write for Media-Underground . You'll find my conspiracy rants there about once a month. I have a blog on Livejournal but I dont write much on MySpace. You can find all my videos at YouTube here . I sit behind the computer downloading software and music. Most of my friends below are comedians, agents and entertainers. I go on the road two or three weeks a month to do stand up. Im a huge Elvis Costello fan and I have almost five gigs of his mp3s on my hard drive. Check out the reviews I wrote for Amazon.com of great books and music. I recorded an internet radio debate with Arlo Stone at the Comedyspeak Roundtable . The video below is a clip from a pilot I did for Comedy Central called the Mudslinger's Ball.
