His unique and hilarious stories earned him a semifinalist finish at The Funniest Person with a Day Job Contest at Rick Bronson's House of Comedy, and had his own wildly popular monthly showcase which he hosted and curates "Laughs and Legends" at Lakes and Legends Brewery in downtown Minneapolis. He is also the host and proprietor of light em up the bong show & Minnesota Nice Compliment Battle. He is currently a paid regular feature at the hottest comedy club in Minnesota Acme Comedy Company.
