A quote I live by:  "Don't find fault. Find a remedy." - Henry Ford

Best advice I ever received:  "Perfect practice, makes perfect."

Seven words that describe me:  Passionate, extroverted, gregarious, fun, detail-oriented, ambitious, rational.

Five prized possessions I couldn’t live without: My turntables, my music collection, my Redskins season tickets, my autographed Michael Jackson “Thriller” album, and my MacBook Pro.

Something no one would guess by looking at me:  I once had a pet pig.

On being a wedding DJ:  "I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to take part in the most important day of a couple's life.  The aspect I enjoy most is being able to work closely with a couple from the initial meeting until the day they say 'I do.'  I look at deejaying as an art form, and I am committed to bettering my craft every day.  There are few things in life that bring me as much satisfaction as knowing I helped contribute to a couple's special day."
