About
I spent 50 years in Radio Broadcasting, I was the Master of Ceremonies for the Dallas 9/11 Stair Climb for 11 years. I have been a wedding officiant for 15 years.
Not to worry if the microphone dies. I know how to project my voice so everyone can still hear.
I have a very nice 15 minute service that is very touching and appropriately romantic.

Frequently asked questions
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Total 45 years in Radio Broadcasting. (including 18yrs at ABC Radio Network, 7 Years at Westwood One Radio network)
I provided the voice work for the 2015 Superbowl Winning Radio advertisement.
I have studied the psychology of music for 45 years. I can move a crowd without ever saying a word. (I do talk and then you get a professional voice)
I was nominated for Music Director from Billboard Magazine early on in my career, proving I had an ear for music.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
Each event creates its own Price Point. Until there is discussion of ideas and needs, it is literally a guessing game. I try to help you buy what you want. Not just sell you "stuff".
Again, I ask, Do you want a "fun reception" or an "unforgettable reception"? That is completely your choice.
How did you get started in this business?
I wanted to be in Radio since I was 2, according to my mother. Knowing my passion for radio/music, I was asked to DJ a wedding for one of our faculty members. (Turns out is was the beginning of a new passion!) That same month, I got my first professional job in Radio. So both started at the same time.
The smooth transistions and speech that are catamount in broadcasting, automatically shifted over to my Wedding DJ approach. Everything runs smoothly. Very rarely do you hear a loud startling noise or the ear piercing feed back. Why? Because all of that control comes naturally now.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I have provided entertainment for:
Many Corporate Holiday Parties, Awards Banquets and Celebrations, Private Parties for the stars, as well as ...
Hundreds and hundreds of weddings from a high 6-figure wedding in Manhatten, NY. to jumping in to rescue a wedding who's DJ never showed.
International Convention of 3000 guests. How do you pack a dance floor like that? The Pro's know.
VIP Customers - Whom I cannot reveal due to the fact that their talent outshines mine. And besides I don't kiss and tell.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I performed at a wedding on New Years eve. The ballroom was a perfect canvas to work with. Throughout the evening, subtle surprises happened that gave a "fresh moment to the room." Re-igniting the spontenaity As well, some very romantic moments occurred that caught everyone off guard, in the perfect way. (I like to make sure a couple's guests leave emotionally fullfilled as well as exhausted from dancing.)
The evening was full of moments for Bride and Father, Grooms Mother and Groom, poinient moments for Bride and Her mother. But I found out that, as usual, the Groom's father was left out. Until I learned the two had a fireworks bond. They shared many displays and Dad and Son.
Unfortunately, within this city's limits, it is against the law to have fireworks. At Midnight, Dad and Groom had their moment. I had secretly and strategically placed projectors around the room. At midnight, every wall came alive with a 360 degree fireworks display. Dad and Son celebrated with an embrace. Then everyone else joined in. The perfect ending to an unforgettable Wedding Reception.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
Find out WHY they are in the Wedding business, to begin with.
If they say "because the money is good"...run!
You want to find the Wedding Professionals who are in it because that's how they breathe. Don't be afraid to ask revealing questions like,
How did you start in this business? How long ago? (Better be longer than 5 years)
Do you have continued education?
How do you handle "problems" that come up during receptions? example?
There are many great "ask the Professional..." questions online. I just feel it's important that you know WHY they are doing what they do.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
Please be ready to discuss your budget openly with professionals as we can help guide you to other great professionals. Insiders tip We love to work with other pros whom we know will not be a gamble for you. The better your pros know each other, the smoother the evening goes. There is no second guessing where the pro will be standing at a crucial moment in the evening, etc. We know each other well enough to have it all covered prior. It really is an orchestrated event!
