- Favorite quote: “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.” – Mark Twain and “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain
- Five words that describe me: Laid-back, friendly, entrepreneurial, driven, adventurous
- Prized possessions I couldn’t live without: My passport!
- Something no one would guess by looking at me: I am a damn good cook and I have a garden.
- On being a wedding DJ: I love DJ’ing weddings! Every crowd is a little different and I love the challenge of finding just the right mix of music to send each crowd over the top. One week it may be Motown and Funk that works and the next week it could be throwing down a serious house music set. I really do appreciate all types of music and will play whatever it takes to pack the dance floor. There is nothing like turning a wedding into an all out party. I truly love what I do, I don’t think you can do this job properly if you don’t.
