Wrote, directed, produced, and performed in an award-winning comedy/juggling/variety show that toured the US and Canada, performing regularly at events for both public and private audiences, with occasional national television exposure on shows such as Last Comic Standing.

To answer the question I get most, “Yes, I have juggled chainsaws.” And to this day, if you give me a deck of cards I’ll blow your mind.
