Sticky Skin Made Local Entrepreneur Famous
Evergreen Park resident "Canhead" has a rare skin condition that...sucks.
Entrepreneur by day, local celebrity by night.
"Canhead," who owns a customized signage shop in Evergreen Park, and has lived in the village for nearly 20 years, discovered that he had quite an amusing talent about 16 years ago while at a baseball game. He bent his head down, then jumped up in hopes of catching a home run ball, but when he came back down, couldn't find his can.
"'Where's my can,' I said! It was stuck to my head."

Over the years, many movie stars and comedians have caught Canhead Fever. He said Jimmy Fallon aired a photo of him, then after he started his YouTube channel, Ellen Degeneres heard about him and requested he come on her show. She joked that "business was slow," with Affordable Signs, so he took up an alternative career.
Other appearances Canhead made includes the Chicago Red Bull Flugtag, Nascar races in Michigan, stand-up comedian shows, and the list goes on.
He said he's scheduled to appear on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno soon.
