I have been many things in the course of my life: student at an elite boarding school, religious studies major in college, and graduate student in folklore. Along the way I worked a variety of jobs, including short-order cook, towel boy at a YMCA, sperm donor, bartender, professional cartoonist, and I spent six years as a stand-up comic in Los Angeles.
