I am very fun and easygoing. Many clients compliment my witty sense of humor and classic emcee vocal tone and appreciate the way I can steer an event in the right direction.
I like to work directly with the event organizer to put together a cohesive run of show so that everything goes smoothly and we give the audience the best experience possible.
Growing up in a suburb of Los Angeles (Palos Verdes), I have always been fascinated by the entertainment industry. My dad did a number of commercials before getting married and having kids, and I always wanted to do something like that.
Most of my youth was focused on pursuing sports, and that really paid off when I earned a football scholarship to the University of Colorado (click here to learn more about that). After college, I started coaching high school football, along with breaking into the modeling industry. I went on to take a job coaching & playing American football in Rome, Italy (The Lazio Marines). Upon my return to the USA I was really tan and my hair was really blonde, a model scout took my photos & set me up with the Ford modeling agency. Within the next year I had appeared in national advertising campaigns for Abercrombie & Fitch, Brooks Brothers and Ralph Lauren, and also worked with: Hugo Boss, Perry Ellis, Nautica, Dolce & Gabbana, Halston and GQ Magazine.
It was a wild ride but I wanted to do more with my personality and less with my looks. So I started doing stand-up comedy in NYC, that was a whole different wild ride and I got to meet and work with a lot of cool people and some pretty big names. Around this time I had also started getting into on-camera hosting and acting in TV, film & commercials. My beautiful daughter was born in 2006 and that changed everything. I stepped away from the entertainment industry to focus on family. Then my awesome son was born in 2011, I was working in the family business and coaching high school football at St. Joe's Regional HS in New Jersey. Things didn't work out in that marriage and I found myself writing a new chapter in my life, I knew I wanted to get back into entertainment and now I've been in showbiz for 15+ years. I love to entertain, be part of a production team and make something fun and entertaining. I hope you watched some of my videos. Thanks!
