Ten Fun Facts about Me:

1.
Besides my paper route, my first real job was pumping gas at a Sunoco Station.

2.
Before moving to Omaha my junior year in High School, I spent 10 years in Ohio Parochial schools.

3.
I secretly wish I could make my living playing the drums.

4. I spent 5 years on the road doing stand up comedy. Until I became established, I spent many nights sleeping in my car. 

5. Doing stand up, I was the opening act for Jerry Seinfeld, Sam Kinison, Drew Carey, Chicago, George Benson, Paula Poundstone, and Darrell Hammond from SNL.

6. None of the people that I opened for will return my calls.   The only one who's excuse I'll accept is Sam Kinison.

7. When I lived in Wyoming I went boating on the Flaming Gorge.  The boat capsized and I almost drowned.  When I got to shore I had to walk through the desert in my stocking feet for 2 hours until I could flag down help.

8. I've been to every state but Hawaii, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island.

9. I have broadcast my show from The White House, Israel, the World Trade Center, in Florida for the Presidential recounts, The College World Series, and my sister's kitchen.

10: I  really have only 9 fun facts.
