STORY TELLING: A comedic story teller with experiences you simply wouldn't believe. It's a miracle I've made it this far; I'm certainly laughing at my expense, and other's do too. Written stories or verbal stories, I always keep it interesting and real.

EAST COAST ITALIAN: I am from the east coast and my family is Brooklyn-Italian. I can imitate this type of person very easily, and I honestly missed my calling to be cast on the Sopranos. This wit and sarcastic charm shines through in my personality.
