After twenty-five + years in radio and music
(I guess I started as a DJ when I was four!)
I figured it was time to share some of the
memories and experiences with you.  
Scattered throughout the site you'll find
photos and audio clips from different eras -
especially the eighties of course -
and also some personal pictures
of my family and beloved pets.  
Check back often as this site will be
updated on a regular basis with new
photos, stories, audio clips, etc...
September 27th, 2007. At the 20th
anniversary party for E!/Movietime!
We were the four original hosts -
myself, Katie Wagner, Julie Moran
and Greg Kinnear. It was a great
party in Beverly Hills and Greg found
time to be there despite having a
new movie with Morgan Freeman
opening the next day, "Fear Of Love"

On Tuesday April 8th 2008 I was asked to
make a speech to America's leading
organization for Disc Jockeys - the ADJA.  After
I wrapped up my speech they surprised me and
presented me with their highest award, a
Lifetime Achievement Award for my "integrity,
dedication and positive role model".  I was
stunned and honored.  Thank you ADJA!

DJing at The Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California, for Calvary
Christian School, April 2008.  It was a black tie fund raising benefit that I'm
so pleased to say set a record for the school.  I was the auctioneer and DJ,
and provided all the sound and lights.  The organizers wanted an exciting
club atmosphere for the dancing - the overall night had a James Bond theme
- so we gave them what the wanted with chase lights, LED projectors and
colored washes around the entire room.  It was an amazing and spectacular
evening.  For more photos click

And one question I always get asked - "When you DJ a wedding or party, do you
only play 80s music?"  The answer is simple - I play what
you want.
If you want Depeche Mode, you got it!!! But if you want Elvis, Celine, Beyonce,
Timbaland, Frank, Madonna, U2, Britney, Elton, etc... then that's what I play.  
It's
your party and I want to make it the best, most fun day you've ever had!!!
