## Early life and education

## Career
### Radio

Juett spent more than 14 years in the radio industry, working as an Account Executive at Liggett Broadcasting in Lansing, Michigan and Citadel in Colorado Springs, moving into sales management positions at Max Radio, CBS Radio, Wilks Broadcasting, and Clear Channel Radio in Denver and ultimately serving as Sales Manager at Lincoln Financial Media's Comedy 103.1 from September 2013 through June 2014.

### Producing

Juett is a prolific producer of comedy content including live comedy shows, web videos, and an Amazon.com sitcom pilot.
In addition to co-owning Sexpot Comedy, Juett has produced events in the past such as High Plains Comedy Festival (see below), The Grapes of Rad Comedy Show (a former monthly comedy show at Englewood’s Gothic Theatre produced in collaboration with Adam Cayton-Holland, Andrew Orvedahl, and Ben Roy of The Grawlix comedy trio) and The Grawlix's monthly show at the Bug Theatre. He joined with filmmaking team The Nix Brothers to produce comedian T.J. Miller’s music video “Denver” (a track off of Miller's "Extended Play E.P.”).
Juett also teamed up with The Grawlix and The Nix Brothers to produce an Amazon sitcom pilot in June 2012 called Those Who Can't, about three inept Denver high school teachers. It starred The Grawlix in the three main roles, along with Rory Scovel, Kyle Kinane, and Nikki Glaser.

### Comedy Performances

Juett regularly performs stand-up in Denver showcases and events and was accepted into Crom Comedy Festival in Omaha and the Comedy Exposition of 2014 in Chicago.
In 2012, Juett, Orvedahl and Robert Rutherford formed Mouthstepperz, an a cappella dubstep team (Juett's “Clownmouth” was the “lead singer”). They performed at SXSW in 2013 and made an appearance at the 2013 High Plains Comedy Festival. Juett has also appeared in numerous videos featured on Funny or Die including multiple episodes of the Grawlix/Nix Bros. web series and fake commercials for Omaha's Crom Comedy Fest. He starred in a web series called Glenn Has Ideas which featured special guests including Adam Cayton-Holland, Rory Scovel, Sean Patton, Emily Heller, Dan Soder, Chris Fairbanks and Hannah Duggan.

### Sexpot Comedy

Juett is a producing partner in Sexpot Comedy. Originally conceived as a private comedy showcase by Denver entrepreneur Kayvan S.T. Khalatbari, Sexpot served as a comedy collective, producing or sponsoring four podcasts and a dozen weekly or monthly live events. Among these was the main monthly Sexpot Comedy show, held at Denver's historic Oriental Theater, which Juett produced. Combining national headliners (including Rory Scovel, Sean Patton, Nikki Glaser and Andy Kindler) with local talent (Comedy Works New Faces winner Jordan Doll as host), the show regularly included free pizza coupons from Khalatbari's Sexy Pizza, and was “semi-pot-friendly” due to its tie with Khalatbari's former marijuana dispensary, Denver Relief. The combination of these businesses is where Sexpot's name originated.
Juett also oversaw SexpotComedy.com, which launched in 2014, publishing original content in the form of comedy podcasts, videos, and literature, similar to Nerdist Industries or Earwolf. At the time, it featured a comprehensive calendar of Denver's ever-expanding lineup of comedy events.
In 2018, Sexpot hosted the Denver premiere of the film Super Troopers 2, which featured special appearances by cast members Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, and Paul Soter. The event was a tribute to the film's connection to Sexpot Comedy, as Juett and Khalatbari "kept the production afloat during a troublesome shoot."

### High Plains Comedy Festival

In 2013, Juett partnered with Denver comedian/writer Adam Cayton-Holland to launch the High Plains Comedy Festival. Juett parted ways with the festival in 2015, after its third year.

## Personal life

Juett has two children: a daughter and a son and currently resides in Parker, Colorado.
