His father was an Italian American Catholic and his mother was Jewish. He graduated from the Bronx High School of Science in 1984 and attended Queens College from 1984 to 1987, before dropping out.

He performed at several Chicago improvisational theaters, including the ImprovOlympic and the Improv Institute.
