WHAT ABOUT BOB?
I'm a pumped man. I mean you gotta be pumped, ‘cause it’s a weird world out there, and there’s a lot of weird stuff going on. So I’m pumped!
I grew up in Spokane Washington, and it was a great place to be raised. My parents taught me early on about Christianity and God’s love for us. God got a hold of me early in my life, and it’s a good thing, because I was full of “Beans and Shenanigans”. I gave my heart to Jesus Christ when I was 7 years old; the best decision of my life! My family and I spent a lot of time at our home church, and for me, I enjoyed being involved with the music, drama, and many other ministries there for years, which continued on into my college days, and all my life.
I moved to Los Angeles 20 years ago and I have really enjoyed living here since, with many opportunities in music, stand-up comedy, acting and unemployment.
I majored in music in college and have enjoyed performing music, as well as stand-up comedy at many venues across the country, I have always loved combining both of these into my concerts that I present. It keeps me pumped.
I picked up the skill of ventriloquism as a kid and it has since become a part of my stand-up comedy routine, leading to many performance opportunities; not to mention that some people think that I'm just plain weird playing with dolls. Well, actually there not dolls, there called dummies, but they do all have their own unique personalities. That's not weird though, right?
So here I am now living back in my hometown of Spokane, having a great time pursuing what I do best, and always with the goal to honor the Lord in all that I do. Even though I am still full of “Beans and Shenanigans” - but good Shenanigans.
