CURRENT MISSION

To sharpen my skills and make people laugh.

ABOUT ME

I'm a journalist from Boston. I do standup comedy and some music on the side. I like riding my bike, and I'm into progressive politics, good beer and nice people.

PHILOSOPHY

Do unto others. Rarely settle. Work toward something.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A recent one: I saw a whale about 100 feet from my boat in Costa Rica.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have an unseemly amount of knowledge about American sports — occupational hazard. I can also recommend great comedians as well as soul and hip-hop groups!

I'd love to learn another language.
