In November of 1990, John took the stage at an Indianapolis comedy club with the intention of getting comedy out of his system. 'I figured they'd at least boo me off stage. Worst case scenario, they'd throw stuff at me.' As it turned out, there was no booing or throwing. And since that fateful maiden voyage, John has made lots of people laugh from coast to coast. On stage, he's energetic and contagiously enthusiastic about numerous topics including: Electronic cigarettes, Snuggies, automatic flushing toilets and the proper age to stop chewing your shoe in church.

(In fact, if your children repeat anything he says, send him a video copy of it...he'd love to see it!) John resides in Kokomo, Indiana with his wife, Lori. He has four, grown children and six grandchildren (and counting)
