## Caption

Just over a year ago, I experienced the biggest moment of my professional career (thus far) as a DJ and event presentation enthusiast: Serving as a Music Director for ussoccer for the International Friendly match between fcfseleccioncol and 4-Time World Champion, the United States Women’s National Soccer Team (uswnt), in front of a sold-out crowd of more than 17,000 fans at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park (dsgpark) in Commerce City, Colorado (my home state).

I absolutely love DJing: sports, mobile events, private events, & festivals. However, being a sports DJ has been different for me, as it is something that has allowed me to stay close with and be a part of sports (in a different capacity), since retiring from para-sports competitions in my teens due to my progressive medical situation.

The build-up of landing this gig came from a series of connections (leveraging LinkedIn) and value-based conversations with members of ussoccer.

I was incredibly fortunate to be teamed up with djamyrobbins, a legend in sports and entertainment music presentation.

After a few one-on-one video call sessions with djamyrobbins, some music guidance, a few video calls with our Event Production Director, and months of preparation, we worked together to curate music for the match.

What people may not realize is that, in the world of sports and entertainment, there is so much preparation time that goes into producing a single show for one event. The job as an in-stadium Music Director is not easy. Attention to detail is critical - especially, complementing the atmosphere for a sold-out crowd of more than 17,000 fans, and for some of the most influential athletes in the world.

I can assure you that, if it wasn’t for the confidence, guidance, and support that djamyrobbins and our Event Production Director gave me, my anxiety may have reached volcano-eruption levels.

All that said, I have learned so much over the last couple of years. 

I have been taking a hiatus from DJing of late to focus on organizing my music library and recording some behind-the-scenes content to share about my organization process.

Stay tuned!
