Des Moines Karaoke & DJ Service

If I had a penny for your thoughts, I'd owe you money....

About Me



I'm always up to make new friends, so feel free to add me. I always kinda get pegged as stuck up cause I don't have a lot to say. If you get to know me, you'll find that's not me at all. I'm all about fun and good friends, and preferably lifelong, honest friends.I own Des Moines Karaoke & DJ Service, and we're pretty good at what we do - check us out at desmoineskaraoke.com. I am also in planning stages of opening a bar soon, along with a few other projects.Check out my cousin James, (in my top 20) and make sure to watch for his new CD - And buy it!
Otherwise, just talk to me if you want to know about me, I'm glad to talk to anyone!!
I'm not on here for drama, gossip, or anything, so please, be my friend, not a gossip columnist! Thanks!

My Interests


Music is a very big interest of mine. I've been singing about 15 years, played Trumpet for about 20 years. Learning guitar slowly, (teaching myself) and really enjoying it. Had a few offers to sing in local bands over the years, I wish I had the time. I'm always up for something new in business, so drop me a line if you have an idea.

I'd like to meet:

People who are real. No bullshit or drama here. You may not always like me, but if you get to know me at all, you'll know I'm a straight shooter. Be the same, and we'll be good friends!!I'll be anyone's friend if they are real, and aren't a complete moronic asshole! A little bit of stupidity is ok... lolI am worth $3,113,722 on HumanForSale.com

Books:

I wish I had the time... I really miss the time for a good read.

Heroes:

Well, I worship no false Idols, but I will say that anyone who can be honest will always have my respect. A hero in my mind is someone who puts others interests before their own, if it is for the betterment of others. Not someone who never thinks of themselves, though. Thats just not realistic.
