Accolades

2007 OEA - Best Local Stand-up/Improvisation/Slam Poetry

OEA

My improv troupe, the Weisenheimers, won the 2007 Omaha Entertainment Award in the Performing Arts division for Best Local Stand-up/Improvisation/Slam Poetry. 

1995 Silver Addy Award

The Addys are Advertising Awards for the state of Nebraska. I won a Silver Addy for my promotional campaign for Sports 1490-AM. Our low-power Sports Talk radio station offered cash radio prizes of $1.49 for benign contests. The joke was that was so low budget it was the best we could do. While other stations offered "Thousand Dollar Thursdays," we merely gave away prizes of less than $1.50. 

 

At the age of 21 this was the only time I entered the Addys, and I presume the physical award is in a station storage unit somewhere in Nebraska. 

1992 & 1993 Nebraska Entertainment Speaking Champion

In 1992 and 1993 I took first place in the Nebraska State Speech Tournament in the Entertainment Speaking division. This is occasionally referred to as "After Dinner" speaking. This category wasn't recognized at the national level, so I was unable to take my presentations to Nationals.
