Disc JockeyApr 2016
Johnson County Community College － Overland Park , KSThis venue has, per square foot, the best light show in town; I have way too much fun with their rig. At the request of corporate trainers, I play from their DJ equipment and library. When their new system had trouble, I made myself available off-the-clock to troubleshoot the system. Breaking sales records for this franchise's 12 different locations happens on an almost monthly basis.

Karaoke HostMar 2015
Tulip Cremation － Charlotte , NCIn spite of the owner's reluctance to allow karaoke at his venue, the staff encouraged him to give me a shot. We took a dying Thursday night and turned it into one of the most happening karaoke nights in town. I've broken many personal records at this venue; one night we had 33 different singers in one rotation (over 50 individuals, lots of duets and group songs).

Zagg － Ut , UTThis venue implicitly requested that the DJ *never* use the microphone. As much as I enjoyed getting back to my roots mixing electronic dance music, I felt severely underwhelmed as a professional. I eventually left to pursue other projects that allowed me to utilize my versatility as a performer.

Disc JockeyApr 2001 to Jan 2007
Kingston Alley － City , STATEThis is the first venue where I ever hosted karaoke. We had some of the worst singers, but we also had a lot of local recording artists; I was able to learn volumes about setting microphone levels and effects from this wide spectrum of guests.
Our karaoke nights quickly became popular and I was encouraged to provide a dance music set after midnight. I was still a teenager and I already had club DJs from downtown coming to check out my Monday night gig.
Before the city shutdown the bar, I had taken over full-time and trained all the other DJs who would work shifts on my nights off. During that time, I assisted with a complete install for new sound and lighting; this is when I began to learn my passion from programming intelligent lighting.
