Jay Johnson has been around.
He now lives with his better half, Laura D., and a bird
and a cat in the suburban paradise of Huntington, Long Island.

Jay is the owner of 423-TREE, in business since 1980.
He did all of the tree climbing for 17 years, and still climbs
most days.  He is an arborist certified by the International
Society of Arboriculture, a member of the Long Island Arborists,
and the Better Business Bureau.

He has been a model, actor, and stand-up comedian, and is licensed
to drive tractor trailers. He has taught classes in Zen thought, and
is a National Guild Certified Hypnotist.

Jay/John Kicker's performances are being captured by documentary
film maker Mary Scott of  of MakeBelievetv.com. The intention is
"BREAK TIME, THE MOVIE".

He is also developing projects with Ron Wood and Sharon Cohen of
Ron Wood Public Relations Limited.

Jay's poem, "The Wanting" (included in BREAK TIME) won first
prize in the Performance Poet's Association 2005 yearly contest. It
also was a prize winner inthe Mid-Island Y JCC's 2004 contest.

In June of 2005, Jay produced a show based on the emergence of John
Kicker at the Author's Playhouse in Bayshore. His band, "THE GRIN
REAPER'S" did the backup honors for "Season of the Witch" and the
original, "You Look So Good in Handcuffs". In August, he was carried to 
the stage by a dozen people for the Northport Arts Coalition's summer
poetry series. Last year for the same series, he conducted 3 men with
chainsaw engines in the wildly inventive "Song of the Chainsaws".
