with every performance. There was no doubt that I was meant to be a professional DJ. I quickly started a small business called Around Town Sounds and booked myself without any form of advertising." Though part-time, Chris was working consistently as if his home-based business was his only source of income. "I love doing this so much, that I wouldn't refuse anyone. The payment I received was never even an issue, it was whoever booked me first... that's how much I enjoy doing what I do"! Just when everything was at its best, however, Chris was faced with having to relocate. "Ugh... what a time for that to happen. In 1995, my wife took a job in Connecticut that forced us to move. That meant a much different market and unfortunately, a new phone number."

"I was 'tipped off' by a mutual friend in the industry about Chris and couldn't wait to meet him," says Gary Byron, president of The Tone Zone Network. He

Chris and his wife, Kim, reside in South Windsor, CT with their dog and two cats. Helping to finance his degree in Communications, Chris also works as an auto technician for an East Hartford auto dealership. Quickly building his own clientele through us, we are noticing why he was so successful in

Massachusetts: He is a classy guy who happens to be a lot of fun! Chris is booked exclusively through Tone Zone.

"It's kinda funny, but there really isn't a better place to learn how to be a DJ than at a roller rink. I got to learn how the equipment was used, see first-hand how people reacted to the latest hits, and practice how to professionally use a microphone... all without making any purchases!" It wouldn't be long, however, that Chris would outgrow the rink's DJ booth in favor of private events.

"When I started performing at weddings in the early 90's, and noticed that I was progressively getting better and better
