I am an award-winning teacher, speaker, writer and stand-up comedian with a social media following of over 300, 000. As an emcee of many events, I have received accolades for keeping a show going with humor and improv. I am able to not only do scripted work, but can also easily and effortlessly go off script to make a show more enjoyable for everyone.
He is the funniest, most genuine person I have ever met. He can carry a show all by himself and also works soooooo well with others!
He is the funniest person ever on stage and sooo easy to work with. He should have his own cable show.
I have seen him as emcee of Dancing with the CH Stars for several years and he is the most quick witted person i have ever seen on stage. He is absolutely a riot. He will make your show 10 times better.

I have been writing humor columns for over 20 years, but on stage is where I really shine. I love interviewing people on stage and keeping a show going, but I equally enjoy telling stories on stage and doing stand-up. I am able to adjust to whatever is needed for me to do. On stage I have done everything from riding in on a live horse to wearing ridiculous costumes to rapping.
I have been teaching high school for 17 years, with national accolades including runner-up to National High School Journalism Teacher of the Year. Over that time, I have also been emceeing many events and doing stand-up. My forte is keeping a show going with improv, and I have done so with great success. Whether it's spontaneously breakdancing or coming up with jokes to get the crowd involved, I will do whatever it takes for a show to succeed (while keeping it classy in the process). One show that I have emceed for the past decade, essentially a version of "Dancing with the Stars" has raised one million dollars. I am also very active on social media, with a Twitter following of over 330,000, and am a published author.
I have no technical requirements. Just a microphone and speakers.
