He grabbed a cat and a hula hoop! Fascinated by storms, he drew maps and pretended to be a weatherman at age 10. He eventually got a B.A. in Broadcast Journalism from Washburn University in Topeka, KS. He got an associate degree in meteorology from Mississippi State University. He just celebrated his 40th year in TV broadcasting, 25 of those in Montana. Following a short intermission the second half of this comedy explosion is our signature short form show, Whiz Bang! Whiz BANG! is an explosion of intoxicating comedy! Exciting, high-energy, short-form improv that is so funny it’s criminal.
