The Worthies

Very honored to receive this little piece of hardware from the Professional Wedding Guild. At the recent PWG Gala, I won the category for Best DJ. It’s very humbling, and I’m going to be blunt…I’m not 100% sure how to promote the fact that I won this. I am honored, and I’m proud, and I […]

Booking season is crazy this year!

In additon to rocking parties, I have to run a business. One of the things I pride myself on is tracking year over year booking rates.  I monitor what’s working (and what isn’t).  I’ve tracked these numbers for seven years now.  It’s remarkable seeing trends that hold largely pretty steady. But, that being said, let’s […]

During the week…

I often get asked, “if you’re doing parties on the weekend…don’t you have a ton of free time during the week.” Short answer, no, not really. Being a business owner and entrepreneur is MORE than a full time job and takes a lot of time. Most days are literally a race against time to get […]

PalmWood Events Walkthrough

I’m doing the A/V for a Professional Wedding Guild meeting at the PalmWood Events venue space. I have never done an event there.  So, like any venue I’ve never performed at, I drove over and did a walk-through.  This meeting shows me venue nuances, where plugs are, best ways to load in, etc.  The value […]

Kelly Hooper Taylor

Kelly Hooper-Taylor is a dear friend. Not only is she a great DJ colleague, I also had the honor of performing her ceremony and reception. I don’t get nervous at events, make some slight butterflies. But I was really nervous at Kelly’s wedding. I now understand a little better why people get nervous giving toasts […]

We also have video monitors and projector/screen […]

Ebony and Ivory

Lance Panton from MyDFWDJ is one of my all-time favorite people. We collaborate on a lot of projects, and mutually mentor each other and bounce ideas off each other. Lance is an all around great guy. We also chat pretty deeply about things going on in our crazy world. We try to make sense of […]

NACE Networking

Next, we’ll work on getting my nametag to not be cockeyed! 🙂 The more you get to know me, the more you’ll see I’m out and about at a lot of industry functions. Here’s a recent picture at a NACE industry meeting. Here I’m hanging with Adam Wilmore and Don Mamone, both industry superstars!

Brik Venue!

I do a lot of ‘epic’ events. Some events are more understated. This corporate client wanted some simple while uplighting to provide nice accents to the room. As you can see, it’s nothing over the top…just a nice little touch to the room. Sometimes the best statements can be understated! For this particular job, I […]
