About

  • As a child, I would read the adapted kid’s versions of literary classics with pictures. Everyone seemed real impressed that ten year old me knew the plot of Moby Dick.

  • I perform stand-up comedy, collect comic books, and consistently obliterate the competition in trivia tournaments.

  • Lids blocked me on Twitter. Yeah, the hat company.

  • Speaking of Twitter, Jerry Seinfeld and David Simon, the creator of The Wire, have both had Twitter conversations with me. I am perhaps prouder of that than I should be.

  • I once tricked Newt Gingrich into signing a picture of similarly named Star Wars villain, Nute Gunray. That picture is now one of the first things that pop up when you search “Newt Gingrich autograph” on Google images.

  • In the past, I have started an underground laundry service, have had my jokes published in Reader’s Digest, and been a bodyguard for the Vienna Boys' Choir.

  • I am the oldest of five kids. I learned to be loud at an early age.

  • The most flattering fictional characters that other people have described me as are Nick from New Girl, Ernie from Sesame Street, and Negan from the Walking Dead. Make of that what you will.

  • I believe that lists of random snippets about a person are the best way to figure out who they are.
