Greetings from Central Illinois! 
A little about me (TMSOriginal / DJ Todd Stein)...
I first started as a DJ on radio in 1985 at the age of 15 -- yes I had my FCC license then as well. I worked radio during high school & started DJing Jr. High dances as a high schooler -- I worked my way through college on various radio stations & in mgmt of the college station, while doing mobile work on the side.
In 1992, when I graduated college, I started as a VJ for a club in Des Moines & the club earned the 'best dance club' title under my tenure, I left on-air radio work then as the clubs paid more then. I worked the club scene FT for apprx three years then decided to go into restaurant/bar management & offered my mobile service on a very PT basis on the side.
In 2001 I went FT with my company, Live Super D.J. Service, with a focus on wedding reception entertainment -- added karaoke in late 2001/early 2002, to 'fill in the gaps' weekdays with bar gigs -- added music videos in 2006 (at the same time we discontinued promoting karaoke, but offer it as an add-on).
I owned & operated a sports bar w/ nightclub-like-elements from July 2005 to June 2008, when I closed it in the black due to personal health, desire to spend more time with family & the economy.
I am still running my entertainment services FT -- and have added an interesting live music concept -- but, to be completely honest, while my bar was open I kind of let the mobile service slide & did not maintain my contacts, promotions/marketing, memberships, and did not actively seek bookings so now I find myself basically rebuilding the service's reputation & I may be looking to go PT & get a more 'traditional' job as well (if that is possible in this economy).
I've mostly been on another industry board & found this board via facebook & decided to check it out.
Many of you may know me from another board, as co-founder of the Iowa Mobile DJ Network (IAMDJN) (which has changed to a MAPDJ chapter), as a former member of NAME, ADJA & MAPDJ or seeing me at Mobile Beat or MAPDJ conventions or maybe not -- either way, I am an open-minded business person who is willing to share knowledge & always willing & ready to learn more!
I look fwd to my future experiences on this board.
