Marshall, WI

I was born and raised in Wisconsin and have a lovely bride and 3 simply wonderful children. I am just north, almost to Canada really, of 40 years old. Growing up Lutheran, I certainly know what cutting edge comedy is all about. Thankfully, I have always been surrounded by humor sources from elsewhere. All of the following have had an influence on my life and writing: The Marx Brothers, W.C. Fields, Monty Python, Robert Benchley, P.J. O'Rourke, Bob Newhart, Mystery Science Theater 3000 and many others, including most of the autobiographies of former Sesame Street cast members. (Yeah, screw you, Gordon! No, the other one.) I currently have an award-seeking blog called "A Full Rich Blather" that was ranked 76th among the Self-Imposed Random Favorite Blog Awards.

Jokes

Not all who wander are lost… they’re just always in my way when I’m trying to get over to the right exit ramp.
