when my grandmother told me a story didn’t have to be true as long as it was funny.

In high school, I volunteered for local political campaigns and got a reputation as a funny kid who could write.

Comedy and speechwriting were my first loves. So, I found a way to make them my career.

It’s a hustle - appearing on national television, performing at world class comedy clubs, writing and producing iconic tv shows, and penning memorable speeches for leaders doing inspirational work in politics, entertainment, education and philanthropy.
