I'm originally from Fresno, California. I was adopted into a foster family and grew up there. After finishing high school, I worked at a local Fresno radio station as an overnight DJ. For late-night kicks, I would try to get girls to call in and request the song, "Me So Horny." While attending college, I also started performing stand-up comedy at the country music bars and comedy clubs in the area.

While still a teen-ager, I moved to San Jose, California for a job at the theme park, "Marriot's Great America." I had to entertain the people waiting in those long lines for the rides. There wasn't a microphone or speakers, and my punchlines were usually drowned out by the ride going around at 90 mph. Talk about a tough gig!!

After that roller coaster ride, I moved to San Diego, California for a couple of years. I continued to work on my stand-up comedy career by performing at the comedy clubs there. While living in San Diego, I landed my first national commercial for Miller Beer.

Then I made the leap to Los Angeles. I have been on many television shows since making the move here. I'm most proud of being on, "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno." Jay was really cool and down-to-earth. I have also been on the BET network show, "Comic View" a bunch of times. I was a regular player on BET's variety show, "The Way We Do It." I appeared on Galavision's popular show, "Que Locos" a couple of times. I also performed on Comedy Central's "Premium Blend." My first big break was being on Showtime's "Latino Laugh Festival." Recently, I filmed a movie that stars Master P. and his son L'il Romeo entitled, "Uncle P." I will also be in the upcoming motion picture "Be Cool" with John Travolta. It is the sequel to "Get Shorty."
