  Brian started DJing nearly 10 years ago for the Dee Jay Network and has come a long way. After deciding to broaden his horizons and further his education, Brian decided to retire from the mobile DJ scene. However, he has been known to make a "come back" once in awhile... especially when friends twist his arm into DJing for their wedding or party.

     One gig we won't soon forget is the wedding at the Radisson, when one of the centerpieces caught fire causing the entire ballroom and hotel to be evacuated. Since the father of the bride was a former Utica Fire Fighter, the party continued outside on the firetrucks as the photographer snapped away some great shots. After about an hour, everyone was let back into the ballroom where the celebration continued. Brian played "Fire", and "We Didn't Start The Fire", "Burnin' Down The House" along with other favorites. Brian always thought he was a "hot" DJ. Well, Brian, where there's smoke... there's fire!

   When not DJing, you can often find Brian keeping his favorite barstool warm at The Varick. He enjoys sports, LaBatt Blue, and his cigarettes (which we wish he'd give up!) and he's also played on the Dee Jay Network's Volleyball Rec Team at 12 North Sports Complex.
