I became a dj because I like entertaining. I let couples know is that there are a couple of reasons why I enjoy what I do. The first is because I like to have fun and I like to make sure everyone else is having fun too.

Another reason is because, when it comes to wedding ceremonies, the music is one of the most influential parts of the ceremony and it sets the tone. It’s a honor and privilege to be able to be a part of one of the biggest days in two peoples lives and I want to make it as perfect as I can.

That’s a good question. There are things to every part of the night that are highlights. Maybe it’s assuring the music is perfect during the ceremony. Or it could be meeting people and welcoming them. I’ll even make it fun going table to table handing out request slips. Music helps drive the mood and assuring all the music sets that tone is what I like to do.

So honestly, I can’t say what my favorite part of the night is. But I can tell you what my least favorite part of the night is. It’s the part after I tell everyone “drive safe and have a good night” and the lights come on.

I believe the thing that helps me thrive as a dj is the fact that , even though my birth certificate says one thing my attitude and energy says another. It does help me connect with all ages though.

Another strong point may be a disadvantage as well. I like to add some of my emotion into the tempo which is feeding off of the dance floor. Playing music geared towards all ages keeps everyone engaged and does not exclude anyone.

I have a lot. A lot of good memories and some, well, yeah we will credit those as learning points. One of my favorite dj memories came from the low point of a bride and groom.

It was my 1st or 2nd year and I did a wedding reception. The estimated guest count was 150. Everything was set for 150 except for the actual count. Including the the bridal party and bride and groom, there were a total of about 36 people that showed up. I did everything I could to still try and make the evening as fun and special as i could.

The comments left on my evaluation are ones that have stuck with me when they said “we hired a dj and what we got was more like a part of the family”.

I was a firefighter for almost 20 years. I have a real strong passion in fire prevention, education and awareness. However, when I was a kid like 5 or 6 years old it was the total opposite. I was a little pyro until one day I went to the big church lot at the end of the road and set a tree on fire. As if that wasn’t bad enough, I could see the fire department about 750′ feet in the background.

Well when they showed up, which only seemed like a matter of seconds later, one of them came up to me and asked if I saw who did it and the only thing I remember saying was “a kid ran that way”.

Needless to say the only damage was to this tree sitting in the middle of the lawn and that was the end of my pyro days.
