About
I have been a DJ entertainer for  23 years. After working in nite clubs for quite a long time I decided to try my hand at the mobile DJ side of it and I love it. I specialize in weddings, corporate events, and birthday parties. I can provide music from the 50’s through todays latest hits. When doing a wedding, I always make sure to work with the photographer and caterer as to ensure the reception runs smoothly. A wedding is a very special day and as a DJ I’m here to provide the best entertaiment the client can get. When playing special dances (first dance, parents dance, etc) I always make sure to keep eye contact with the bride or groom. I am also a proud member of the "American DJ Association"

Endorsements
I first worked with Rick at The Rusty Pelican, where he provided exceptionally fast and flexible service to a couple in need. The music was absolutely perfect for all involved, with the timing and selection exactly as they had requested. The crowd constantly reacted positively to song choices, never feeling out or place or bored. As the photographer I greatly appreciated this, as I was supplied with more opportunities for great expressions and dance floor action than at most weddings!
Rick has delited couples for years with his outgoing and upbeat DJ voice and service. Always professional and a blast to be around.

We meet usually once a month and we discuss topics and issues on how to improve our services to our clients. We also invite local vendors such as photographers, caters, and banquet managers to get ideas from them on how DJ’s can make everyone’s night run as smoothly as possible.
