Since several of my old and current friends in the Music Industry have pages here on My Space, I figured I'd come and join. I have been spinning Records as a DJ for about 25 years now. I have also been involved in the Music Industry for a stretch back in the day.
Other Current Interests:
I got off into the Mac computer thing a while back and worked as a Retail Rep for Apple Computer and am currently a member of two local Macintosh User Groups.
I am dabbling in Graphic Design and Web Design as a Hobby and do freelance support and consulting/support for Macintosh Computers.
I am still actively spinning playing R&B, Hip Hop and Rap, as well as some House Music and looking to make the move to Final Scratch later this year.
