Meet Your DJ 

Hey! I’m Collin. I LOVE this job. I get to connect with amazing people, help them plan a wonderful day, and then I get to party with them. Seriously, does it get better than that?

When I’m not celebrating with my charming couples and their crews, I love to be active and spend time with my friends, family, and Taco Bell. Here are few of my passions:

  • I seem to pick up a new hobby every year.

    In 2024 it was “wing foiling”, it consists of mostly falling in the water, but occasionally getting some wicked rides “on foil’ that make you feel like you’re flying. If you see someone falling in Lake Nokomis while holding a giant kite looking thing, there’s a decent chance its me.

    When the winds not blowing I’ve got plenty else to keep me moving. I’m out swimming, running, biking, and walking along the lakes and Mississippi every chance I get.

  • I love to travel in the off season. Internationally, I’ve been to Vietnam (2019), Morocco (2019/20), Costa Rica (2023), and Italy (2024).

    In the US, I make annual trips out West to visit family in CO and run a relay race in MT. I also love the Driftless region of the Midwest, and am a big fan of small towns.

  • Google Maps thinks it’s my home. Send me your go to order and I’ll rank it and offer suggestions. Bonus points to the couples that want to have a consultation at T-Bell.

  • Big fan of: Arnold, Rom Coms, Bad Sci-Fi.

  • When I'm not rolling in my trusty Sienna full of DJ gear I'm always trying to commute by bike or e-bike. I think it's so much fun. I also do a bit of bike-packing here and there.

    I recently did a 2 day bike trip from St. Paul to Duluth, and another from Winona to the Twin Cities almost entirely on gravel.

  • In addition to DJing, I work in donor development with IATP, the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy. We work to create more fair and sustainable food and farm systems.

    My undergrad degree was in Political Science and Social Work, so I’m pretty interested in policy which creates a healthier and fairer system for people and the environment.
