Born in Buffalo, New York, he did the requisite paper route, worked in a record warehouse, a record store, a retail store and then began in radio at the age of 18. That took him from Buffalo to Miami, San Francisco and Seattle in the space of 3 years. After taking up stand-up comedy on the side, he left radio and hit the road full time from 1986-1997. He quit a fifth of Jack Daniels a day habit in 1997 and his life changed. Pursuing his lifelong desire to act he soon landed a starring role as Plastic Man in the independent film "Carried Away" which played in the Seattle International Film Festival.
