About

I have been a Disc Jockey and Master of Ceremonies for about a long time. I definitely would rather be reading a eulogy than lying in the casket and listening.

There are a few things that you might want to know.

If you consider what are called the virtues in mankind, you will find their growth is assisted by education and cultivation.

Why?

Continuing Education and Training are the exception, not the rule for Mobile DJs.

Ten years ago, I was just like most DJ’s. I thought I was the greatest DJ ever. Once I started interacting with other entertainers I realized that I could improve, and improvement requires a considerable investment, personal and financial. My goal is to make every show an improvement over the last. Rehearsal, review and followup are all important to continued growth, and important to every event. It’s also important to make sure you are doing the right things for the right reasons.

I don’t think I qualify for ISO-9000 process improvement, but continuous improvement is essential to providing the value my clients deserve.
