He’s shared the stage with comedians, Jeff Foxworthy, Adam Sandler, Jerry Seinfeld, Dr. Ken Jung, Ellen DeGeneres, Dennis Miller, and Bill Hicks, as well as entertainers, Lou Rawls, The Beach Boys, Randy Travis, and Nancy Wilson.
His speaking on Suicide Prevention is informed by his lifetime battle with Depression and Suicidality, and he has turned that long dark journey of the soul into 12 TEDx Talks, sharing his lifesaving insights with colleges, corporations, and associations.
On top of all of that, he has survived 2 aortic valve replacements, a double bypass, a heart attack, and losing to a puppet on the original Star Search and has lived to joke about it all.
