Raised in a small town in Iowa, Jer-Dog began his comedy career almost 20 years ago, at the age of 19, by traveling for hours to cities with comedy clubs and karaoke/sports bars facing some of the toughest crowds imaginable. He further developed his showmanship skills during a 10-year tour with “Shenani-Guns” Comedy Wild West Show, performing at Six Flags and state fairs.
Currently based in Chicago, IL, Jer-Dog spends most of his time with his family, writing new material, headlining live events, and interacting with his legions of fans online.
