Before Fame

He was born with cerebral palsy. He grew up walking differently which made him a target for teasing. He discovered early that roasting bullies back was both a shield and the beginning of his stage voice and led to him developing his skills in comedy. He appeared in Improv Coming at Ya in Color in 2021.

Trivia

His signature line "I ain't drunk, I just walk this way" comes straight from his lived experience with cerebral palsy and the rhythm with which he moves. He has appeared on the Boss Talk 101 podcast to unpack his origin story, his approach to crowd work, and building an indie comedy career. He appeared in an episode of BRIC TV called "Laffaholics" in May 2019. He was host of the HHF Awards in 2025.

Family Life

He is from Arkansas but relocated to Atlanta, Georgia to pursue his comedy career. He is a father.
