He then went to work at AT&T Bell Labs where he was part of the team that designed the world’s first 32-bit microprocessor. He then moved to Silicon Valley where he helped launch the start-up company, VLSI Technology. Then after 15 years in the tech world, Don quit his job to become a stand-up comedian. That year he won $100,000 as the Comedy Grand Champion on “Star Search”. Don’s been seen on “The Tonight Show”, “HBO”, and the “Comedy Central”.

Don has performed more than 800 corporate shows in the last 20 years and he was named the #1 Corporate Comedian by the CBS Business Network.
Jesse Fernandez
I live in the Bay Area most of the time, professionally writing, telling, and drawing jokes. It's what I've been doing for a decade and a half, and I love it. I even wrote my master's thesis on the linguistic mechanisms that elicit laughter.
I've had the pleasure to write for countless organizations, including ABC, MSN, Starbucks, Frito-Lay, Hitachi, TED Talks, and AJ+, Onion Inc. I teach writing, comedy, performance, and more at Google. I was a staff writer at eBaum's World for about 4 years and head writer there for 3 years. I once gave a talk at the International Society for Humor Studies, gave comedy presentations in 10 countries, became a two-time finalist (one-time champion) in the National College Comedy Competition and performed in 10 consecutive SF Sketchfests.
