Bio: I started out DJing back in 1981 with doing house parties. In the summer of 81’ I was an on air disc jockey for reed college (Portland, Ore) campus radio station, and at the time was the youngest person to hold a class C FCC Radio operators license. From there I got my self taught training as a master turntablist appealing to all types of audiences, in the 80’ mostly as resident DJ for such clubs as Catch 101, The Main Connection, The Plaza, Scootchies, and The Playground, as well as being a part of a radio show on KBOO radio called The Sound Connection, with the Sup (Tim Warren) and Spaz (Phil Bethune).
For a teen ager this was a busy schedule, as well as attending college. Then in the early 90’ made the transitioning from “teen clubs” to nightclubs, working for various clubs in the Portland metro area, including JT Barrangers, Brickstones, & New York Diner, as well as doing mobile DJ Shows for the nationwide company called Complete Music. I was the resident DJ for The Refectory in Portland, Ore. From 1994 to 1998, I took a break to go back to college to get a degree in computer science.
Then in 1999 went to work for a small bar called 8 balls of fire, in Portland. As well as doing many guest appearances, at clubs in Portland, Salem, Seattle, Vancouver BC, & Las Vegas.

From today's pop culture, Hip Hop, Top 40, obscure classics, to hilarious selections of comedy drops, and much more, creatively combines music resulting in an extremely entertaining and unprecedented club experience.
