I am a professional clown. I also work part-time as a tech in a TV studio.

I am traveling in less than two weeks to Europe. I hope to stay in Amsterdam, Paris, Athens, Rome, Florence, and Madrid. My trip will be 6 weeks long. I leave 11/4/16 and I return 12/15/16.

Music, Movies, and Books

A Fish Called Wanda is one of my favorite Movies. I also love Terry Gilliam's Movies, especially The Fisher King and Brazil.

I have so many books that I love. One of my favorite authors is Kurt Vonnegut. I also read a lot of non-fiction and science fiction.

I can listen to nearly any type of music.

I love to dance even when I look ridiculous.

I am 51 years old and I still ride unicycle and dance on stilts.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I taught theater to people with Downs Syndrome. We staged plays that they created and danced.

I co-founded the Washington DC Comedy Writers Group.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach juggling, television studio production, video editing, acting, comedy, and Joke Writing.

I want to learn new languages and learn about other parts of the world. I want to experience other cultures. I want to see a place through a local's eyes.

Even though I can't host, I would love to share my hometown, Annapolis MD, and I can give you a local flavor of the Washington DC Comedy Scene.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good Laughs. How to Juggle, A great recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookies and an amazing steel cut Oatmeal with currants, coconut flakes, cinnamon, walnuts, and pecans.

If you have a fundraiser for a charity, I will be happy to provide some clown entertainment.

Of course, if you can help me with your language, I will gladly help you with mine.
