At the age of 15 I began my professional DJ career forming my own mobile Disc Jockey business. This business has evolved over 41 years into the Maestro Music Network, where it is primarily a live band network. During college I worked full time nights at a deli. I started Rowan University in 1984 ( Then Glassboro State College) as a Communications Major. I paused my college career because my DJ business was growing and got another job in retail sales, at Rovner’s Department in Bridgeton NJ. I worked in the Men’s Department. In the same town I had an offer to manage a small sporting goods store, SportAbout. Another offer came 1/2 a year later to return to Asgrow Seed Company, at their retail store in Vineland. This job had me working the counter, delivering agricultural products to farmers and operating a forklift and stocking the warehouse. Returning to my education I left for Chillicothe Ohio to attend The Recording Workshop to learn audio recording. After completing the courses I walked into a local radio station and expressed my desire to be on the radio and explaining I had zero radio experience but a passion for the medium. I was hired to be the 6pm to Midnight DJ on 1360 WWBZ in Brotmanville. Months later when the station was sold, I researched a call to become an educator. I relocated to Hampton Virginia, I attended Christopher Newport College for a semester before attending Old Dominion University as a Deaf Education/Special Ed teacher. While attending school full-time I also worked full-time. I again returned to retail - Fines Mens Shop in Norfolk Virginia. For three years I worked at a break neck paces taking less classes and working longer hours. Finally returning to NJ I worked for BE Stetson vending company for 12 years while building back my DJ Business. While working at Stetson I finished first coursework at Cumberland County College and back to Rowan where I completed my Communications Degree. After hearing of an “alternate route program” to recruit elementary school teachers I was hired at a Catholic School - Immaculate Conception School as a second grade teacher. I worked there for three school years, moving to 4th grade in my final year. I was hired as a 5th grade teacher at Hopewell Crest School. I worked at Hopewell for 16 years after serving as a 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade teacher, a Resource Room/ Basic Skills Teacher and Drama Director for a K-4 Drama Program for my entire tenure there. Which brings me to today where I look for a new direction and possibly a return to my communications roots. Looking to use my skill set.
