A quote I live by:  "I made the firm conviction a long time ago that I would rather regret the things I had done instead of the things I had not." - Michael Caine

Best advice I ever received:  "You should be a DJ!"

Seven words that describe me:  Free, peaceful, reflective, happy, funky, grateful, love.

Something that no one would guess by looking at me:  I studied Buddhism and meditation.

"I've always had an intense love for music, despite the fact that I haven't really learned to play an instrument well. I consider myself to be somewhat of a professional appreciator of music. Once I started to focus on deejaying weddings, I found my niche. Parties and other events were fun, but the emotional quality and sense of importance that a wedding brings changes the entire experience. I love creating an entirely unique celebration for each of my clients by highlighting parts of their personalities, rather than doing the same wedding hundreds of times. I have had over two dozen different jobs at this point in my life, and I have never enjoyed any as much as I enjoy being a DJ. I absolutely love what I do, for both myself and my clients. I decided a long time ago that I wanted to do something fun for a living, something that never made me feel like I was going to 'work', and something that was helpful to other people in some way. I believe I found that profession, years ago, with MyDeejay."
