About Me

I'm basically a huge dork who happens to live in NYC. I'm 29 years old, 5'10", 150 lbs., have a shaved head, a rather ample Roman nose, and really tiny nipples. My little nips have a diameter smaller than that of a dime. Seriously. Several people will back me up on this one. Hell, I'll even show you.
I write and film tons of sketch comedy. You can see that fun stuff on my website: www.armedandridiculous.com
I also play drums in a Brooklyn-based geek-rock band called PUPPETBOX. You can check us out online at: www.thepuppetbox.com
Our brand new CD is finally available for sale! ...you know you want it...
We also have a bunch of sweet Puppetbox t-shirts available. You can even design your own! C'mon...be a good capitalist and support Puppetbox!

We also have a rockin' music video for one of the songs off our brand new full-length album. Check it out:
And finally, if you apply a farting noise to any situation, it immediately becomes funny, regardless of how somber or sad the situation. This is the only thing in life that I know to be a perfect truth.
One more thing! My comedy collective, "Armed & Ridiculous," shot our first comedic short film about the seedy underground world of NYC Ping Pong. The world premiere took place in NYC in May, and now it is traveling the countryside in film festivals galore. You can view the trailer here:
