I am currently Executive Director of a cable station in Massachusetts. I occasionally do work for my Bro-in-law's company DP Design. As well as through my own venture, Sprocketman Web Design.
I have worked on many other projects over the years including one of my favorites called Paraforce as well as many others.
Okay now here's my story. (This next section is a cure for Insomnia).
I was born at a very early age in 1967. Then in 1972 at the tender age of 5 my parents opened a restaurant.
Some people were born with a silver spoon in their mouth. I was born with a stainless steel spatula in my hand.
I spent the next 19 years smelling like 2 eggs, home fries & toast! All the while I wanted nothing more than to work in Hollywood.
Then in 1990, after getting my AA in General Studies (emphasis on Photography) from theIn 1994 I made the pilgrimage to the film capitol Hollyweird! There I fine-tune my TV and film skills working on such greats as, Longo Toyota commercial ooh WOW! My career too off like the actual Titanic not the movie! I finally secured a place in the number one post production house in Hollywood, Todd-AO Video! There I fine tuned my OTHER skills like taping boxes together, making videotape labels, packing foam peanuts, pushing a hand truck, lifting heavy objects and driving through rush hour LA traffic with out air conditioning to deliver the latest video copy of The Brady Bunch to Paramount! OH JOY!
It was only a matter of time until I realized there was more to life than being a grip in Hollyweird, making $50 a day, 12 hours a day hoping maybe I can "break in" to the "business".
I realized it doesn't work like that. If y'all ain't got a famous name in the "business" y'all ain't got nuttin'!
So after 2 years of occasional joy mixed with moments of horror I bolted out of there!
I now have several projects underway through Stricom Productions, Sprocketman Web Design and my current career as an Executive Director! Things are lookin' up people! WAY UP!

Dan has been an integral part of the cast and has contributed many of the best characters to the show. Without his full support Strictly Comedy would not have happened.
Dan owns his own graphics company, DPDesign. His expert design skills have enhanced the look and feel of Strictly Comedy. Dan is not only a cast member but he is also my brother-in-law. He is one of the most creative people I know. Every time I talk to him he gives me new ideas for future shows. Dan's best idea yet is to attend the annual Access Awards dresses as Earl & Leroy Feedin.

Chris does freelance videography work through his company "Ironsaint Video Productions". He is also skilled in non-linear editing using Final Cut Pro. He created some of the graphics for Strictly Comedy and is a valuable member of the cast.
Chris started out as a camera operator on Strictly Comedy and quickly let his comic side show. He moved in front of the camera in 1998 with a sketch called "The Orange Construction Cone". From there he stepped into his most memorable character to date, "The Unabomber" in three skits called "Bombshack" and "Mailbombes Etc. and "Rude HMO Doctor".
When asked what he like about sketch comedy Chris says,
"I like the creativity. You can do what you want. There are no rules".
Chris also likes to help make the props for the show. He's a real hands on person and an important member of the cast.
In his spare time Chris enjoys off-roading in his 4x4 and spending time outdoors.

Steve currently works as a Director for a news station in Providence. He is also an accomplished voiceover artists. I have been friends with Steve since we were 5 years old. When I first decided to start a comedy troupe in 1996 Steve was the first person I asked to be in the cast. We did some rather simple skits at first but soon we were into more complex shoots. Steve brings experience and creativity to the show through his many years in television production.
