As a kid, I took after my 
grandpa, and ever since my college years I have
enjoyed working as a 
Circus Clown, 
Fire-eater, 
Fire-Breather, and 
Juggler.
Since 1975, I have enjoyed working with small mudshow circuses and parades, 
amusement parks, cruise ships, TV shows, and
music videos, as well as teaching classes in the "FUN of Circus Clowning" for Indiana State University for a few years. Sometimes my parrot Gandolf 
likes to help me makeup, and loves to entertain as much as I do! 
in Tennessee and 
Gotland, Sweden, as well as going to regional juggling conventions in Atlanta. For the past two years, I have been working on Sword Swallowing, but it is very dangerous and not at all easy to learn how to do. Click

Never let me grow so big that
I fail to see the wonder in the eyes of a child
or the twinkle in the eyes of the aged.
Never let me forget that I am a Clown...
that my work is to cheer people up,
make them happy, and make them laugh,
make them forget, at least for a moment,
all the unpleasant things in their lives.
Never let me jeopardize the integrity
of clowndom by improper conduct.
Help me to always be humble and share your love
through my actions as a clown.
Never let me acquire financial success
to the point where I will discontinue
calling upon my Creator in the hour of plenty.
And Lord,
when it's time for the spotlight to go out
in my final moment on life's stage,
may I hear you as the great Ringmaster whisper,
"When you made my people smile,
you made ME smile."
Amen
