Red Bank by way of Mississippi

How you got into improv
In college, the honors society President said I was funny and invited me to try out for the college improv troupe. I’ve done improv ever since.

What you love about improv
Improv gives a strong sense of community. A great improv show typically can’t happen unless the players know and respect each other.

What inspires you
I take a lot of my inspiration from the Firesign Theatre, a comedy troupe from the 60’s and 70’s who had a rapid-fire, semi-improvised style.

Non-improv related tidbit
This year, I am training to run a half marathon. That’s 13.1 miles, all at one time. Wish me luck, I’m gonna need it!
