It all started with a love for music and a friend needing a DJ for her 14th birthday party. I used 2 CD players and her uncle’s stereo system. It went well and I had a great time, but I knew I could do an even better job.

Over the next several years while I was in high school, I bought a sound system of my own and increased my CD collection. The gigs came by pretty slow, but a seed had been planted that was to grow for years to come. Around my first year in college, I purchased a light system. This dramatically increased the number of gigs per year. Since then, I have invested in even more equipment and expanded our services.

The first wedding I did was very nerve racking. There was a constant fear of messing up someone’s "special day". It went quite well and people began to spread the word. With weddings, I began to focus a lot on making it as easy as possible for the Bride, Groom, and everyone else. It has almost become a special art in its own. It has been a lot of hard work, but it has also been a lot of fun too!

Founder, DJ, & Sound Engineer

After working with my good friend, Aaron, for about five years, it was time for him to start his professional career in Austin as an EMT-Paramedic. With the business of moving and getting used to a new and demanding job, Aaron decided to turn over most of the operations of A-Plus Audio to me.

In the past year, I have worked hard to maintain the high level of respectability that Aaron had worked so hard for this company to gain. We have been working at more events than ever before and are supplying an unprecidented level of service that is hopefully equated by few and surpassed by none. Currently, we are averaging over 100 events per year (generally two to three each week!), and it is still on the rise.

My biggest concern is to make sure that everyone at an event is happy with everything that my associates and I can control. As we expand our services, my goal is to make sure that we retain and improve the close, friendly service that made our business successful when we first began DJing for friends and family.
