SERVICES
The Good Time Gang characters by Jade Wolf
I live in Los Angeles with my artist wife Jade, my dog Yali, and a neighborhood view of the Hollywood sign. I have been a contestant on
10 different game shows, including a big win on The Price is Right.
I love to make people laugh, but I might love laughing myself even more. My comedy heroes include Pee Wee Herman, Steve Martin, Maria Bamford, Fred Armisen, Tim Robinson, Kristen Wiig, and The Lonely Island. I love creative challenges, foosball, badminton, pickleball, live events, escape rooms, surprises, and shaking this mini maraca.
