Jamie has acquired credits in dancing (Weird Al Yankovic on four tours), writing television commercials, filming interviews with celebrities (Ralphie May, “Pawn Stars”, “Rick’s Restoration”, Sin Bad, Lita Ford, The Scorpions, and George Clinton - just to name a few-) for Fox Kansas’ television show “Heavy Pork”.
