About Me

Known as the spiritual surfer from Cincinnati but now from LA. Pure comedian all my life. First did stand up in the 5th grade. After a quarter century performing and getting a chance to write for and spend time with many famous comics including Jay Leno I can honestly say I love stand up more than ever before. I am not the slightest bit jaded and I'm still growing and getting a great deal of satisfaction from helping others grow. I think I'd have to kill myself if I did the very same show night after night. Tonight Show was like that...TOO much the same ol' same ol'.I have contributed to Pulitzer Prize winner Mike Peters political ideas and wrote for the national comic strip 'Mother Goose and Grimm'.Also wrote and performed many many times on the nationally syndicated 'Bob and Tom' show. Video of me can be seen on their website. 'Laugh Hole' thing or something like that.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Unselfish non-arrogant honest people. True artists. Not enough of those types in Hollywood. LA is a place where they pass out the 'genius' label like airlines hand out 'party mix'.
