I'm a hardworker with a bit of playful sarcasm, but more often wit and wisdom and helpful insight. I'm a good listener, deep thinker, and progressive christian. Emphasis on the progressive.

Professionally, I manage a comedy theater in Hollywood.
Outside of my day job, I'm working on my writing, stand up, learning to cook, getting involved in urban design issues, and volunteering in the community.

Currently I am hosting/producing a show called "The Ladies of OKCupid Stand Up Show." Where the audience votes on the best match based on our stand up sets. If you are a fellow stand up comedian and would like to be on the show, please message me.
