Welcome to our first instalment of the Desert Bus for Hope 2020 Yearbook! Over the next few days, we’ll be introducing the entertainers that’ll be keeping the bus rolling down the road during this year’s event. We asked each entertainer to write a quick intro about themselves. And, because it’s a yearbook, we asked our volunteers to write “Most likely to” titles for each person.

Today, we introduce the Entertainers on the Dawn Guard shift (6am-Noon PST)…

Describe yourself, in about 50 words or less.

I once ate an entire blackberry and apple pie to myself. I was told I had 50 words, but once you hear a man once at an entire pie to himself, what else is there to say.
