I’m a DJ specializing in classic rock, modern rock, and country, with a knack for playing fun, often forgotten songs and mixing in disco and '70s dance music. I’m also an expert at reading the room, gauging what people want to hear, and keeping the energy up. Comfortable on the mic, I can handle announcements and important talking points with ease, ensuring your event runs smoothly and everyone has a great time.

I’ve developed the ability to read the room and keep the energy of any event alive, whether I’m DJing or acting as the emcee. Understanding the crowd and adapting to their vibe is crucial for a successful event, and I excel at making sure the right atmosphere is maintained throughout. From creating seamless transitions between songs to selecting the perfect playlist that keeps people on their feet, I know how to curate the ideal experience for most occasions, as it pertains to rock-and-roll.
As an emcee, I bring an engaging and professional presence that keeps events flowing smoothly, making sure that every element runs on time. Whether it’s hyping up the crowd, introducing acts, or making sure key moments happen when they’re supposed to, I’ve mastered the art of event flow.
With years of booking and promoting local and regional bands/artists, I've built a deep understanding of the entertainment industry's dynamics. This gives me an edge in delivering memorable experiences, whether for small intimate gatherings or large-scale events. My goal is always the same: keep the audience entertained, the event on track, and the vibe electric.
If you're looking to hire a DJ or emcee who not only brings professionalism but also the ability to make your event truly special, I’m ready to help make it a standout success.
I have extensive experience in sales, marketing, and branding, honed over a diverse and dynamic career in the entertainment and music industries. I spent 12 years at the Odeon Concert Club under Belkin Productions, learning the art of concert promotion and venue management. Following this, I contributed 8 years to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, where I furthered my knowledge of event coordination and marketing. In addition, I excelled in ad page sales for Alternative Press Music magazine for 5 years. Over the past nine years, I have produced Lorain County, Ohio's original craft beer, music, and food festival, showcasing my event planning and promotional skills. My musical journey includes years of stage experience playing with bands like Hydra, the 70's stalwarts Granicus, known for their cult-like following, and currently, with my rock power trio Sonic 67. I’ve also developed a strong understanding of reading a room, DJing events, and acting as an emcee to ensure everything flows smoothly. With years of booking and promoting local and regional bands/artists, I have a deep grasp of the music industry's intricacies and dynamics.
As long as I have power, and WiFi, I'll be ready to go. If we need additional equipment/lighting etc. We can figure out those details when we speak in detail about your event.
As a DJ, I primarily play rock, classic rock, blues, country, some fun disco era hits. I'm not a rap/hip-hop, or urban type DJ.
With my band Sonic 67, we're an all original power trio influenced by the likes of: Kiss, Van Halen, Collective Soul, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Clutch, Fu Manchu, Rival Sons, Kaleo and more.
I grew up with the old school DJs I heard on the radio as a kid, you listened not only for the music, but because you also liked the DJ as well.
