I have been a professional DJ for 25 years.

My first experiences started in Beloit Wisconsin, doing school dances, and house parties.

The 1st club I ever performed at was called the

"Social Lite Club".

Then came the "ING" Roller Rink in Rockford Illinois.

After the roller rink, I went to the "Health Club", "Doc and Eddies", "Rockin' Sport", and finally "The Varsity Nite Club" in Whitewater Wisconsin (working for owner Jan Klund).

That is where I started learning the craft of programming and Beat mixing music and music video's. using "Wolfram" Telegenics video and "Rock America" video (just to name a few).

I was one of the first to start video programming in the Midwest. I  DJ'd at "The Pier" nite club in Beloit,  "The Firecracker Lounge".

Also "Sharkys Lounge", "Rocky's", "Tazbags" and

"The College Inn".

I helped to introduced the Wisconsin / Illinois state line area to "Chicago house music" when it was first being created.

As my skills grew, I started playing bigger clubs and doing bigger parties. I went about as far as a DJ could go in a small town, it was time to move on to bigger and better things.

In Milwaukee I went to work at "Bermudas Nite Club"

(Owned by Jon Okonek).

It was the largest club in Milwaukee with the capacity of 2500 people with two levels, 2 large 10 foot remote video screens and monitors throughout the club, the largest dance floor you could find in the area, at this time.

I also worked at the Madison WI "Bermudas Nite Club"

While working at  Bermudas I was interviewed in the club section of "DJ Times" and the "Chicago Music Magazine" (Please see Articles below)

  It was also about this time I started

Music Express DJ & Karaoke Service.

The nights I had off from the clubs I was doing wedding receptions and parties.

I also did a radio show live from the club on "Z-104".

I went about as far as a DJ could go in Wisconsin, it was time to move on to bigger and better things.

One day the opportunity was presented to me to work for "Walt Disney World" in Florida. With the support of my wife we decided to take a chance, relocate and try to take this thing up to the next level.

At "Pleasure Island"   I perform at "BET", "Motion", "8 Trax", "Rock and Roll Beach Club" and "Manniquins Dance Palace".There are very few Dj's that could jump from a dance club one night, to a beach club the next and then Rock n' Roll the night after that. My years of training, mixing and entertaining have made me a master at reading a crowd and getting everybody out on the dance floor. I get crazy and I have a lot of fun. I performed at "Universal Studios Margaritaville" and "Motown Cafe", I have also DJ’d a set with the "Sugar Hill Gang"., "Ton Loc", "Mickey Thomas of Jefferson Star Ship", "Kurtis Blow" and "Cheap Trick".

I am a music & video programmer knowledgeable with all types and styles of music from new to old and rock to country, dance to hip hop. 

At Music Express, we are a family based husband and wife team. We will always make sure your event is one to remember and talk about for years to come.

I am looking forward to meeting and talking with you soon.
