CURRENT MISSION

Be able to make people laugh in every language.

ABOUT ME

Some would say I work too hard; others would say I have too much fun. They would all agree that I do the things I like, that I care about others, that I have a quirky sense of humor, and that I am too international to be a real American.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is one big video game. Most of the time, if you do something wrong, you can just put another quarter in and try again.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A recent mayor of Medellin, Colombia constructed new libraries all over the city. The libraries are now filled with kids playing on computers, and the streets have fewer kids getting into trouble.

The Arctic circle crosses the island of Grimsey, in Iceland. On the north side of Grimsey are cliffs which are home to hundreds of puffins and other birds flying around without any people to bother them.
