A quote I live by:  “If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.” – William Blake

Best advice I ever received:  “Never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body." 

Seven words that describe me:  Husband, father, honest, ambitious, creative, seeker, audiophile.

Five prized possessions I couldn’t live without:  My wedding ring, my die-cast Mr. T figurine and A-Team van, all of my old school hip hop vinyl, my Jay and Silent Bob bobbleheads, and my Sri Yantra poster.

Something that no one would guess by looking at me:  I once built a fully-automatic robotic CD changer out of LEGOs.

On MyDeejay:  "I couldn't be more proud of the company we've built, and after nearly a decade in business it's still amazing to have such an impact on people's lives.  I see a team of talented, creative DJs making hundreds upon hundreds of couples happy each year, and a business based on real values showing the entire industry how it should be done.  As MyDeejay continues to thrive, I can say for certain that it is absolutely possible to run a smart, honest, values-based business and still come out on top.  This company is undeniable proof of that."
