Mike is one of our DJ's and an all around nice guy. He's also Mr. July in our calendar - if you don't have one yet, what are you waiting for?! It's filled with good looking guys, fantastic photography, it's only $10 and goes to an amazing cause! (Thanks so much to Gabe of Philip Gabriel Photography for the image).

Becky: Where are you from?

Mike: Fairless Hills, PA

B: Do you have a day job? What is it?

M: Yes, I'm currently taking classes at West Chester University and Working at IceWorks in Aston, PA as a strength and conditioning coach.

B: What's your favorite type of music?

M: My favorite type of music is hip hop. I love the flow, the beats and the stories behind each song. However it depends on how my day is going and what i'm doing at the time.

B: How did you get into DJing? What's your favorite thing about it?

M: I was introduced to DJing through Kurt Mehler back in 2005. I went out to my first job with Jason at the Top of the Tower in Philadelphia and instantaneously fell in love with the atmosphere. My favorite thing about it is the creativity involved in controlling the party.

B: What did you want to be when you grew up? Is it still an option? Is that what you do now? M: When I was younger I wanted to work in a Zoo as a Zoo Keeper. It is not an option now - although I do like animals, I chose a different career path. Along with working as a strength and conditioning coach for the Little Flyers organization I am also training a few figure skaters.

B: What is your favorite type of event to DJ, why?

M: My favorite type of event to DJ would have to be a wedding. Weddings are definitely the most challenging type of event to DJ due to the variety of guests and many different age groups. Weddings allow me to show my true colors and creativity.

B: What are your favorite things to do/hobbies?

M: The most peaceful place for me is the outdoors. Consequently, my favorite activities are playing sports, hiking (with the dog), snowboarding, mountain biking - basically anything outside.

B: How long have you been a DJ?

M: 6 years

B: What's your favorite movie?

M: Casino

B: Do you have any pets?

M: Yes, I have two dogs. Milo a 4 year old a pekanese poodle and Riley a 3 year old american bulldog.
