I've done lots o'theatre.

I've worked with kids for years.

I produced a weekly radio show that morphed into a podcast.

I've played teeny parts in tiny movies.

I've done a couple o'commericals & TV shows.

I'm featured as the voice of some pretty cool characters in a couple of really awesome video games.

I emcee special events & do public address announcing.

My autobiographical solo show with stories, slides & music debuted in 2010 at the Chicago Cultural Center, then traveled to the SoloNOVA Arts Festival in NYC & the Capital Fringe Festival in Washington D.C.

By 2014, I was invited to perform at Steppenwolf Theatre for their Garage Repertory Series.

Since then, I returned to my hometown of Evanston & now work for the city at the Robert Crown Community Center, where I get to drive a Zamboni.

Also, people call me "JAZ" because the first gift my mother ever gave me was a cool nickname.

Thanks, Ma!
