Comments:

I am a part time professional clown, magician and Puppeteer. I perform at renaissance festivals as a court jester, and I also do appearances as Santa, the Easter Bunny, and other characters.

My most unusual experience happened two years ago when I had the opportunity to appear as Santa at a toy drive with the Star Wars Fan Force and got to be on the evening news doing a light saber battle with Darth Vader.

School Story:

My best memory from school was when I sang in the talent show my junior year. It was a major turning point in my life because I actually stepped out of my comfort zone and did something I enjoyed. When I finished my song and everyone applauded I was overwhelmed by the response and finally felt confident that I could do whatever I wanted in life. Prior to that time I was pretty insecure and had no confidence in my own abilities. I often wonder if anyone else can even remember what song I sang.

Favorite Music:

I like many kinds of music. I'm especially fond of 80's music, but I also like country, blues, celtic and classical

Last CD you bought:

a 5 CD collection of Elvis Karaoke tracks

I would accept Col Ballews offer to appoint me to West Point...I was so stupid.

Who gave you your first kiss?
