A quote I live by: “A leader is most effective when people barely know he exists.  When his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.” – Lao Tzu

Best advice I ever received: “Pay no attention to your detractors; your haters will hate you no matter what you do.  Just be the best you can possibly be.”

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

Something that no one would guess by looking at me: I once built a robotic CD changer out of LEGOs.  And it was awesome.

"The reason that I find this career so interesting and rewarding is that is never becomes stagnant, that it's always changing.  Every couple is different, every crowd is different, every playlist is different, and therefore it never ceases to be an artistic challenge every time I play for an event.  Even after doing this for ten years, I still get excited every time and am still just as motivated as I was at my first wedding to do an incredible job, and to be as creative as I possibly can be.  I take a great deal of pride in constantly honing my skills and my craft, and I consider deejaying at weddings to be more than just a job -- it's a science and an art form that I continue to be passionate about every day."
