When I was young, I was on track to fulfill my dream of becoming an NFL quarterback. Unfortunately I blew my knee out when I was in kindergarten. I came down a little too hard on the teeter totter one day. Right then and there, I realized I was going to have to find another way to make a living. I reassessed my skills. I asked myself, “what are you good at?” The answers came easily. I liked daydreaming, goofing off, staring out the window, and cracking up my friends. Okay, I made up the part about being a quarterback. My knee is fine! The true story might not be quite as fascinating, but here it is:

I am a comedian. I wasn’t always though – I started doing stand-up comedy in my early thirties. I hit my first open mic night at Coconuts Comedy Club in north Miami in 1987. I did okay. Four months later, I won a local contest. A month after that, a club owner paid me $30 a set to do my ten minutes on the weekend. I loved it! I still love it! Can’t think of anything I would rather do for a living.
