►AA Degree in “Business Administration” from Golden West College in Huntington Beach, CA. I had previously worked as an NASD “series 7″ registered representative for MetLife and The Hartford and was also a “mortgage loan officer” for “U.S. Capital” in Costa Mesa, CA and “Image Mortgage” in Temecula, CA. I had possessed a California state “Life and Disability Agent” license, a “Property and Casualty Broker-Agent” license as well as a “Real Estate Agent” license. Ultimately, my life’s passion always led me to what I know best and work full-time as a professional DJ. However, business experience is a substantial issue when hiring a DJ professional.
