I started spinning vinyl at 18 in Tampa, Florida and spent my career playing at top clubs across the United States. My journey has taken me through various genres—from Disco and Retro to Techno, House, Hip Hop, and even Country. After stepping away from full-time DJing in my mid-twenties, I spent two decades in digital media and tech startups. In 2018, I left the corporate grind to pursue independent projects, reigniting my passion for music.

After attending three black-tie events in the past year, I realized why I distanced myself from “event DJs” in my younger days: many lacked mixing skills and had no clue how to read a room. Any monkey can play “YMCA” or “Shook Me All Night Long,” but the truth is, most private event DJs just didn’t have the chops to land nightclub gigs. Having rocked dance floors of over 2,500 people on a busy weekend night, I know how to energize a crowd, keep the drinks flowing, and make the night unforgettable. Frustrated by watching event DJs struggle, I decided to return to the scene. Now in my late forties, instead of nightclubs, I focus on adult and corporate events featuring the specific genres and eras I love.

I’m not the DJ you want for your wedding or your kid's bar mitzvah—I'm not interested in second-guessing what I can or can’t play. My focus is on adult audiences who know what they want, whether it’s a 40th birthday bash or a corporate gathering. My sole goal is to ensure everyone has a fantastic time. Specializing in over four decades of dance music across nearly every genre, I would love to discuss how we can make your next event a hit.

Running a media company during the day means I’m selective about the events I take on, and I promise to respect your time. Thank you for considering me—I look forward to connecting!
