For most of my life, I have been entertaining.First as a kid for my family and then for my friends and teachers at school.I started my professional comedy career in Boston during the early 80’s. As part of that explosive comedy scene, I helped establish such clubs as The Comedy Connection, Stitches and the legendary Ding Ho Comedy Club.After moving to Los Angeles, I became a regular at The Improvisation and added big screen credits to my resume by landing a leading role in Shakes the Clown with Bob “Bobcat” Goldthwaite. I appeared in Heartbreak Ridge with Clint Eastwood and was featured in the made for TV movie Incident at Ruby Ridge.As a three time Emmy award winner for my work on PBS, I have also appeared on virtually every late night talk show from Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show to Late Night with Conan O’Brien.More recently I've made a name for myself as the author of 5 one-man performances including A Different Kind Of Cool a play that focuses on the relationship between myself and my son, Liam, who is a child with autism.Hailed as a story that “perfectly portrays the struggles of a parent with a child with autism,” I am currently presenting a keynote version of the play to parent, civic and educational groups across the country. Perfect as an opening or closing session, I offer a funny, relatable and ultimately moving portrayal of a parent struggling to understand a child I've come to realize is truly a Different Kind Of Cool.
