Awards
I don’t know if any award reigns more supreme to me than being publicly recognized in the 6th grade as “Mr. Congeniality.” Also, my attendance that year was flawless. But if I must, here are a few noteworthy personal accolades that I have accumulated along the way since then…
Awarded (2) Navy Marine Achievement Medals for superior performance and creativity while serving onboard USS Russell (DDG-59) in Hawaii.
Named ‘Runner-Up’ alongside actress, Carly Simone Fischer, by Creator & Executive Producer Matthew Weiner, in the AMC/Banana Republic Mad Men Season 5 national casting call, beating out more than 5,000 other hopefuls.
Awarded “Pudding Master” and a fat pocket full of cash and bragging rights by Ink Master judges Dave Navarro, Oliver Peck, and Chris Nunez. I ate 30 Snack Packs in 3 minutes. I’ve never consumed a single ounce of pudding since.
