Born January 15, 1960. I was born with Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congentia. My humor is based on observations from my point of view. I cover many topics ranging from sex to politics, (duh aren't they the same) sports, celebrities, holidays etc...

I graduated from Royal Oak Kimball High School in 1979. I received several varsity letters as equipment manager in baseball, basketball and football.

I graduated from Metropolitan State College With a BS in Marketing.

In the summer of 1984 I was watching a program called PM Magazine a forerunner of ET, they had Jerri Jewell performing at the Improv Comedy Club in Los Angeles. Jerri is an actress with Cerebral Palsy who played on the TV show Facts of Life. That gave me the inspiration to become a standup comic. So in August of 84 I stepped on the comedy stage for the first time and have been hooked ever since.

I finally graduated from Metro in December of 89 and the following month I went on my first comedy road tour. That tour took me all the way to Georgia and Florida. That was a heck of a long drive for me. I had no idea that in the spring I would be performing at a Holiday Inn in Aruba. That was the best month long gig I've done and had the pleasure of meeting Chuck Norris, John Travolta and soap star Walt Willey. For 5 years I traveled all over the country, but mainly worked in the Midwest and southeast. Also in January of 1995 I had the extreme pleasure
of entertaining our troops in Japan and South Korea. I never dreamed that this career would take me all over the world. I feel very lucky for the path I've chosen.

In July 2009 I became a candidate for Colorado House district 41. April 2010 I was defeated at the county assembly. I then went on to help other candidates and ballot issues for the 2010 election. May of 2010 I was asked to be a guest on a local talk radio show. I was asked back many time until I became the co-host and producer. The show ended in September when the host suddenly left the show. I used the experience that I acquired and started my own internet radio talk show called "Art's Place" on April 2nd 2011.
