MiniBio

He’s a comedian and journalist who’s made a big name for himself online, amassing over 2.7 million YouTube subscribers with his clever sketches, engaging interviews, and a fan-favorite segment known as the Manitowoc Minute. Yeah, you’ve probably heard of him—his content really struck a chord, especially that one sketch parodying the classic Midwest dialect. That video alone? Over 3 million views and counting. It’s no surprise he’s caught the attention of major networks like CBS, FOX, TBS, and even Funny or Die.

Before all the fame and viral success, he got his start by joining the MTV News series Choose or Lose, which really helped launch his career. He’s not just funny—he’s smart too, holding degrees in both journalism and geography from the University of Wisconsin. You can tell he puts thought into his work, and it shows.

On a more personal note, he shared a heartwarming family moment on Instagram back in December 2019—posted an extended family photo on Christmas Day. Gives you a sense of where he comes from, right? Being the second eldest of 12 kids definitely shaped who he is today. And honestly, it makes total sense—growing up in a big family like that, you either learn to stand out or get lost in the crowd. He chose to shine.

Trivia

He actually won a Regional Emmy Award during his time as a reporter at the television station KDAF, which was a major milestone in his early career. Back then, he was still figuring things out, and honestly, he almost didn’t release the first episode of the Manitowoc Minute—mainly because he wasn’t sure how people would react. It’s kind of funny to think about now, considering how far he’s come. While working in journalism, he quietly but steadily honed his voice and unique style as a comedian. He spent those years crafting stand-up material and occasionally sharing humorous videos online, just for fun. Looking back, it’s clear that those small steps were building something much bigger. He really had no idea at the time, but he was laying the groundwork for what would eventually become his signature blend of satire and storytelling. He definitely took some risks, especially putting himself out there with the Manitowoc Minute, but in the end, he proved that trusting your instincts can pay off.
