When I was 12 years I went to go see David Copperfield. I remember him doing this trick where he lies down and suddenly starts floating in the sky. My memory will tell you that he flew above the audience but he probably just flew on stage. I couldn’t stop talking about it! A few months later I was given my first magic gift set.

I grew up in Los Angeles, in a neighborhood that was filled with families. I would spend hours doing tricks for all my friends. Eventually, I got so good at it that they told me, “Hey maybe you should do that on stages” and that gave me the courage to really take action on something I thought could only be a hobby.

I started performing at the 3rd street promenade. It was full of people from all walks of life. I couldn’t always keep a crowd but I kept going back day after day. Summers and Winters, nothing could stop me. I kept showing up, getting better and better.

Finally, I got so good that I was able to start booking comedy clubs all over Southern California. From there I started getting hired for private parties, corporate gatherings, and really cool events like opening for the band WAR.

Today, I am grateful to always be working and have the immense honor to work with some of the comedians that I have looked up to my whole life.
