About Me

Let's see... I'm originally from Detroit, Michigan and moved to the Atlanta, Georgia area in 1974.I began playing music and performing comedy when I was 8 years old. After moving to Georgia and graduating high school, I spent the summer performing as a ventriloquist at Six Flags Over Georgia. I have played guitar and bass in various bands and still perform comedy on occasion. My clients over the years have included Kodak, Burnham Van Lines, Amoco Oil Corporation, and the United States Department of Agriculture.I eventually became "responsible" and settled down with a family. With my kids almost grown, I've begun to work on my comedy again and hope to possibly persue performing full time within the next few years.Music has become a fun hobby... I still pick up a guitar or bass occasionally, but there aren't a lot of bands looking for an old guy!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Paul McCartney, James Taylor, Eric Clapton, Terry Fator, Jay Johnson, Gabriel Iglesias, Daniel Tosh, Frank Caliendo, and Tammy Pescatelli.
