When did you know you were able to do this?
I’ve always been interested in how people tick. As early as junior high I had hints that the way I was wired was different. I was always trying to guess what someone would say next. I’m sure it was all very aggravating for my friends to have me constantly trying to complete their sentences for them.
When did you start performing?
I never had dreams of being on stage; it’s more of an occupational hazzard I suppose. As early as 13 I was performing at open mic nights hammering nails up my nose. Someone once yelled out, “Does your Mom know you do this?!” so I asked Mom to wave to everyone. She had driven me there.
Who is your mentor?
In college I had the incredible fortune to meet James Randi. Randi has $1,000,000 in the bank as a challenge to anyone who claims to be have genuine paranormal abilities. Every summer I worked at his foundation handling the applications for the challenge and designed testing protocol for each applicant. It’s a job I still do, gladly, to this day. It was during those summers where Randi taught me the fundamentals to strong performance and how to create incredible demonstrations.
Where’s the coolest place you’ve worked?
In the years I’ve been performing, I’ve had the honor of travelling to incredible places. I flew to South Korea to entertain the United States troops stationed there, I’ve been to Istanbul Turkey, and all over the country performing at colleges, universities, and corporations. The coolest place, I’d have to say, would be either at Disney World, or Universal Studios. Both were amazing, and too much fun.
Are you famous?
To some people!
How did you know you’d be Psychic Entertainer of the Year 2017?
The aliens told me.
Is there anything you’d like us to know?
That I understand I couldn’t do what I absolutely love to do without an audience, and that they’re sharing something more important than their thoughts and that’s their time. I treasure that gift, and am honored that they want to share that with me, and I love them for it!
