His knack of entertaining people
and working audiences came from doing stand-up comedy and DJ'ing nightclubs
back in his hometown of Toledo in the 70's.
He's been the host of the Childrens Miracle Network Telethon on KOLO News
Channel 8 from 1990-2002. He is also the co-host of the Nevada Humane Society
Telethon each year on KRNV-TV.
His claim to fame is the KBUL Clothing Drive For the Homeless. Each year J.J.
spends Valentie's week doing his show outside in Reno, Fallon and Carson City
- in nothing but his boxer shorts and a smile - no matter what the weather.
It is now in its fifteenth year and has become a Northern Nevada institution.
J.J. is on the Washoe Medical Center Foundation Board of Trustees. He acts
as MC for the Juvenile Diabetes "Walk For the Cure", The MS Walk
(both Reno and Carson City), March of Dimes Walk and the Carson City Jaycees
Easter Egg Hunt to name a few.
You'll also catch J.J. playing music for the Sparks Park & Recreation's
"Leisure Without Limits" program. These are parties where people
with special needs can come and enjoy themselves.
