I started out in '97 when I got my first decks and a couple records. All these years later its still my passion. After having upgraded the setup many times, I am happy with where I am currently. With a heavy heart I've had to trim down my collection of 800 or so records to just the best of the best. With the introduction of digital, I have been one of the last DJ's to make the change. Now I am intermingling old tracks and new tracks to share a bit of my soul with the listener. Ive played at most of the bars in Durango and had a few appearances at scattered festivals around town, but its not the limelight that I seek; its that unpredictable moment when the crowd and the DJ connect. And the way we felt the first time we heard the music........
