A quote I live by:  "The choice to be excellent begins with aligning your thoughts and words with the intention to require more from yourself."

Best advice I ever received:  "Why be able when you can be capable?"

Seven words that describe me:  Outgoing, social, musical, kind, passionate, funny, contagious.

Something no one would guess by looking at me:  I'm a classically trained opera singer.

On being a wedding DJ:  "Music is the thing that I'm most passionate about in this world.  Its ability to transcend itself through different cultures, generations and people is unlike anything else.  The fact that I can share my love for music at an event as special as a wedding is incredible."
