After receiving encouragement from many childhood friends, he took his gift more seriously and hit the comedy stage. The journey that this talented entertainer has embarked on has taken him from the theater, to film, television, headlining as a stand up on cruise ships, colleges and in comedy clubs in the US including Orlando and Atlantic City, in Canada, and has even entertained the troops at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
