All of this from someone who used to be an accountant. After several years in public accounting being told to “think outside the box”, John decided it was better to “live” outside the box. He became a comedian and is quickly making a name for himself as a “recovering CPA” as he travels the country performing over 200 shows a year. And he was even featured in The New York Times.
