He left his home in Tampa and began his adult life at the University of Central Florida in Orlando. While in his sophomore year in college, Johnny returned to his first love, the standup comedy stage.. Johnny competed and won several talent contests in Orlando in 1996, and began doing comedy professionally after beating several comic hopefuls in an Amateur competition held by the local comedy theater.
With a successful week under his belt, Johnny began to work clubs across the south whenever his school schedule allowed, which wasn't nearly as often as he wished.
Even with his comedy performances few and far between, Johnny quickly earned a reputation as a clever and original variety act with a solid future in the business.
In his 2nd senior year, Johnny accepted a job managing a comedy club in his hometown of Orlando. He ran the club, trained the staff and performed every weekend as house emcee. He finally had precious stage time, and he also gained valuable perspective on the other sides of the comedy business. The club closed just 6 months later, (in no small part because it was being managed by a 22-year-old college student.)
Later that year, UCF awarded Johnny a bachelor's degree in Television Production. With school finally finished, Johnny was free to follow his dream. He's been living that dream every day since.
Johnny now enjoys performing his comedy show full-time all across the United States and the Caribbean. His unforgettable "Comedy Show of Death!!" has entertained thousands, and he maintains a mailing list of his fans, "The
Millwatchers," from hundreds of American cities, who can't wait to see him again!
