Went to school for Hardware retailing, but due to back problems, my lovely wife Michele helped me start a magic business, Hippity Hop Magic, in which I started back in 1972 while in high school. Did clowning shows for years until I found out I have allergies which enables me to put the clown makeup on. Have been operating the shop, while on crutches, up until about 3 years ago. Also, have gone back to school for medical classes.
