He moves around the mic stand with an eager, restless energy, pacing out a rhythm of quick setups and startled confessions. When an awkward detail comes out, whether it is an unnerving interaction with a delivery driver or a disaster in a barbershop chair, he never drops into cynicism. Instead, he leans forward, eyes wide, checking the room with an open grin to make sure everyone sees the absurdity. The punchlines land through momentum, backed by cheerful enthusiasm and a willingness to be the butt of every story he tells.

On stage
He belongs squarely to the independent, self-built circuit, logging dates in black box theaters and regional clubs while maintaining a steady DIY podcast presence.
His sets draw from autobiographical awkwardness: trailer park upbringings, bad dates, and the daily dread of simple errands. When a show is clicking, that sunny good nature makes ordinary embarrassments feel shared. Where he occasionally stumbles is in the editing. When a longer story starts to wander, he leans on volume and speed to push through moments where the writing could afford to be tighter.
Having worked his way through Southwestern clubs and New York before settling in the Pacific Northwest, he approaches comedy like a working trade. He keeps the staging simple, relies on direct eye contact, and treats standup like an honest, noisy conversation with people sitting ten feet away.
