He spent 5 years in the campus theater group, working his way up from lowly parking curb mover to President of the organization. Also served as Vice President of the honor’s theater fraternity on campus. He had memorable performances in the following plays: Tartuffe, Love’s Fire, The Bachaae, Sorority Girls Slumber Party Massacre: The Musical, Sylvia, The Night of January 16th, Shakespeare’s Women, Rollercoaster 2: The Double Dipper, and Best Friends.

Their shows garnered 50 to 100 people per show and made the Erie Time’s News in their entertainment section. He originally got involved with the group at it’s inception in 1999 under the direction of Rob Connick. When he isn't making people laugh or cackling loudly in the back of the audience, he teaches little kids math, spelling, social studies, and science. He finds those the toughest audiences to perform in front of. Shout Outs: James Q.
