Ways to Work with Me

I’m an everyday guy who tells stories—some pulled straight from real life, others stitched together along the way.

I’m not here to fix you.

I’m here to give you a break from whatever fresh hell you’ve got going on… and maybe leave you with something you didn’t see coming.

No trust falls.

If you want something safe, I’m not your guy.

If you want something people actually remember… we should talk.

What this can look like

Sometimes it’s me on a stage with a mic, taking a room somewhere it didn’t expect to go.

Sometimes it’s an event that needs a jolt of energy—something real, something human, something people are still talking about on the drive home.

Sometimes it’s more hands-on. Smaller room. People actually getting involved, trying things, saying things they didn’t plan to say.

And sometimes it starts with:

“This might be crazy, but…”

Story + music.
Story + food.
A night built around a place, a history, a feeling.

Or something we make up from scratch.

I’ve done this in front of a couple hundred people.
I’ve done it in rooms where you could hear a pin drop.

Both work.

Build your own experience

If you’re not seeing exactly what you have in mind… good.

Tell me:

  • who’s in the room

  • what kind of energy you want

  • what you want people walking away with

And we’ll build something that fits.

The list above is a starting point.
By no means comprehensive.

A quick example

I had the great honor of performing a Christmas show for the City of Middleton this past December.

Mayor Jackie told me she was hard to make laugh.

I knew what she was carrying.

After she passed away, her assistant reached out and said, “Thank you for making her laugh.”

You don’t always get to change the outcome.

But you can change the moment.

That’s what I’m here to do.

Most events are forgotten by Monday.

This won’t be one of them.

No assistant. No gatekeeper. Just me.

Live large. Be bold. Have faith. Fear nothing.
