About

Thank you for stopping by. I am a comedian, father of three, and founder and President of Sacramento Comedy Spot.  I’ve dedicated almost 20 years of my life to improving and expanding Sacramento’s comedy scene. I am going to continue to do that, but I also want to start accomplishing some of my personal goals that I have put on hold for a long time.

On December 18, 2018 I started a 2979 day adventure to achieve 10 life-changing goals- the same amount of time it took NASA to land humans to the moon. (By the way, I’m also a huge space fan.) One of my goals is to post a weekly video about my progress. That failed the first year, but there is still time! I will consider that goal accomplished if I can sustain weekly videos from January 2020 till the end of this adventure. 

Some of my other goals include writing and selling screenplays, buying a home, living healthy, seeing a few rocket launches, doing something worthy being invited on Fresh Air to be interviewed by Terry Gross. And I want to buy a nice suit. Some goals are easier than others.

Almost 15 years later the Comedy Spot features improv, stand-up, and sketch comedy shows six nights a week, and is Northern California’s largest comedy school. I still teach improv and sketch classes and perform in shows like  The Friday Show, Anti-Cooperation League and YOU! The Musical. 

Sacramento Comedy Spot (formerly Sacramento Comedy Foundation) is more than just a comedy club. We are a  501(c)3 non-profit organization, Sacramento’s first comedy theater featuring improv, stand-up, sketch comedy, and original videos and short films, and we are Northern California’s largest comedy school.

Our mission is to make Sacramento laugh. Sacramento Comedy Spot aims to educate and inspire everyone to challenge themselves, make a statement, and tell their story through improv, stand-up, sketch, and film. We support, encourage, and promote diversity and inclusion within our walls and throughout the greater Sacramento community. We create unique, comedy-related events, shows, and classes that connect people of all ages and backgrounds through laughter.

Every once in awhile, I get to interview celebrities about their upcoming movies. I’ve had the opportunity talk with a ton of actors, including Hugh Jackman, Bradley Cooper, Simon Pegg, Peter Dinklage, Michael Fassbender, Nick Frost, James McAvoy, Bill Hader, Tom Hardy, Kristen Wigg, Jason Bateman, Patrick Stewart, Jesse Eisenberg, Ed Helms, Christina Applegate, and Kristen Stewart.
