"Men have become the tools of their tools." -Henry David Thoreau

How did you get your start as a comedian? I was in the army, and went up on stage as a dare at Zanies comedy Club in Nashville, TN.

What was your first gig? A bar in Hampton, VA. Don't remember too much about the gig except for looking around wondering if the Blues Brothers had played here. I made $25 and left feeling like a Star...Porn Star.

What is your most memorable moment? In Stuart, FL a guy in the audience took out his glass eye and tossed it on stage, landing on the stool next to me. Besides being completely taken by surprise, I had a strange feeling of paranoia the rest of the evening.

What is your reason for doing comedy? There is not enough love and laughter in this cruel and unforgiving world that we struggle endlessly through forging relationships along the way. Most of us never stop to take in the small nuisances that make living worth while. In other words. It Beats Having A Job.
