He has performed at the Hollywood Improv, Second City Hollywood, and the Comedy Underground in Seattle. In 2016 he won the Joan Grayston Poetry Prize. He is best known for his book, "Poems to Ruin Dinner with", and the fact that he is legally no longer allowed to enter Alaska due to a misunderstanding at the border.
