I was born and raised in Rochester NY I lived here all my life. I attended Franklin high school and Rochester Business Institute for Business Administration.
What inspired you to be an artist/entertainer? Early experiences worth sharing?
I have been in the entertainment field for about 20 years with recording studios and also shooting music videos, films and documentaries for myself and others. Comedy was always a part of me since a kid I was the one with the jokes acting silly making my family and friends laugh so when opportunity presented itself I decided to do sketch comedy.
Talk about a time where you have faced adversity/conflict and have triumphed.
There was a time I would drink and party nearly every day while running my studio business and it was becoming a problem. Without the help of AA or any assistance, I put the bottle down and remained sober for two years. Since then a lot has changed and it made me stronger and I am able to have a drink now and then socially.

I’m a one man band I do the writing, filming, casting, directing, promotion etc.. all by myself

I enjoy the outdoors, hiking and traveling.

What advice can you give to aspiring artists/entertainers?
Don’t make excuses just go for it and eventually they will follow.
