Comedian | Speaker | Storyteller | Trainer
United States Marine Corps Veteran

From the battlefield to boardrooms and classrooms to comedy club stages.
Three decades of making people listen, learn, and laugh.

"After 30 years of corporate training,
the most valuable skill I've learned is pretending to adjust the thermostat."

The Most Persuasive Wrong Person in the Room

John's comedy comes from a life that never went according to plan. A Marine Corps combat veteran, prostate cancer survivor, and corporate trainer who spent 30 years teaching over 100,000 employees across Fortune 500 companies, military organizations, and healthcare systems, he knows what it takes to hold a room. Three decades of making people pay attention taught him something he learned from experience: make them laugh first, and they'll let you in and listen.

His material is built from real life, real jobs, and real family situations. If you've ever followed instructions that made no sense or been the only person in the room who saw how ridiculous everything was, his comedy is about you. He performs, speaks, and trains around Los Angeles. Every show is the same mission: give people a laugh that lowers their guard and helps them see themselves differently.
