He's taught thousands of computer training classes in Microsoft and Lotus Applications to hundreds of thousands of students since 1987 and has written over 100 computer technical training manuals. And that was all just during the week.

It finally became clear that entertaining only on weekends just wouldn't do. His computer training classes became infused with such an entertaining flair that everyone could see his true calling clearly reached far beyond the world of PC training. Deciding to live out his dreams 24-7 since 9/2001, he left the warm financial security of corporate computer training classrooms for a full time career as an independent children's entertainer. He can now usually be found blowing soap bubbles or practicing balloon twisting making his amazing new original balloon creations.
