Hello

My Story

Like many great stories, mine started in a middle school gymnasium.

​

During one of our school dances, I noticed something that immediately caught my attention. The DJ wasn't just playing music—he was one of our football coaches. Between the flashing lights, booming speakers, and endless buttons and controls, I was hooked. I knew I had to learn how it all worked.

​

After plenty of persistence (and probably asking far too many questions), he finally took me under his wing and let me give it a shot. Before long, I was helping him at school dances and local events, saving every dollar I could until I was able to purchase my own equipment. From there, things took off. I began booking my own events before I had even started high school—although the most awkward part was still having my parents drive me there.

​

As I entered high school, my passion for media expanded beyond music. Photography and videography quickly became creative outlets alongside DJing. I developed a love for portrait photography and documentary filmmaking, eventually becoming a nationally recognized student filmmaker. My films were selected and showcased at festivals across the country, an experience that fueled my passion for visual storytelling.

​

As graduation approached, I knew my future belonged in the fire service. Following in my dad's footsteps and serving the community felt like my calling. At the same time, I wasn't ready to leave behind the creative work that had become such a big part of my life.

Today, I'm fortunate enough to pursue both passions. By day, I proudly serve as a full-time Firefighter/Paramedic. Outside the firehouse, I continue to provide professional DJ, photography, videography, and drone services throughout Southeast Wisconsin and beyond.

​

Over the years, I've had the privilege of entertaining at nearly 500 weddings, performing in clubs and bars throughout the Midwest, and even taking the stage in Cancún, Mexico. Every event is unique, and I genuinely enjoy helping create unforgettable experiences for my clients.

​

My passion for photography and videography has only continued to grow. I've photographed seniors from schools across Southeast Wisconsin, created professional headshots for individuals and businesses, and produced videos for nonprofits, charitable organizations, sports teams, fire departments, and local businesses. One project I'm especially proud of is my work with Flight to the North Pole, helping tell the story of an incredible organization that brings joy to children and families.

​

When I'm not behind a camera, behind the DJ booth, or serving on an Ambulance or Fire Engine, you'll usually find me spending time with my fiancée, family, friends, and our dogs or exploring the outdoors. Although balancing a full-time career in the fire service with a multimedia business keeps me busy, I wouldn't have it any other way. I feel incredibly fortunate to combine service with creativity, and I'm grateful for every client who trusts me to be part of their story.

​

Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me. I look forward to meeting you and helping make your next event or project something truly memorable.
