I was born & raised at an undisclosed location in New Jersey to very patient parents and a sister and brother who tolerated me for being the petulant little brat that I was (am).
As a child, I was inspired by Dee Thomas, Half-Pint Ingalls, Doug Henning, Steve Martin, my entire family, and my best friend’s mother, Lois.
I had a couple of kids along the way. They, too, tolerate me to the best of their abilities.
I’ve held various jobs ranging from department store reindeer to information technology to teaching K-12 to stand-up comedy.
