About Me

Writer, cartoonist, (very) amatuer songwriter. Master's degree from U-Mn Duluth, but working as a postman (oh, yeah!).Four books to date, but the only one you're required to buy is "I'm an Idiot, You're an Idiot."Wrote comedy for the Reader Weekly from 2000-8, until I had to resign in disgust. Now ungainfully employed with the Zenith City Weekly as comedy writer and cartoonist. Also doing stand-up comedy at Dubh Linn's every Monday @ 8... or possibly 8:30. Maybe 9. We can't seem to get our shit together, but what do you want for free?

A little song, a little dance, a major party going on in my pants.
