What do you like best about being a performer?
Making people laugh. It gives me a good feeling that I can do that. In my school assembly shows, besides enjoying entertaining my audiences, I enjoy teaching kids/teachers about the importance of the Rainforests or the importance of eating healthy food as in my “Fitness for Life” shows. I also enjoy the independence of my job, plus all the beautiful country I get to see on my travels.
Any hobbies?
Vegetable gardening, canoeing, fishing on the Crow Wing River, morel mushroom hunting, throwing long-distance boomerangs, jogging while I play Frisbee golf, studying about nutrition, and above all, I love spending time with my wife Bev and my kids and family.
