An award-winning comedian’s love letter to America’s entrepreneurs—
the weird and the wonderful Americans living their purpose.
A Fork on the Road celebrates folks who spend 30% of their yearly salary on a custom BBQ Trailer just to win a $50 contest 500 miles from home. It’s about the third generation pie maker who is too shy to speak... until the conversation comes around to “Apple” versus “Cherry.” It's about ordinary Americans living uniquely extraordinary lives of happiness and purpose.
A Best-Selling Amazon Travel memoir/cookbook.
