Boston Voyager Magazine Interview

By Leave a Comment

Recently, I was interviewed by Boston Voyager Magazine to discuss Press Play Entertainment for their “Inspiring Stories” section that highlights local entrepreneurs. I’m excited to share the newly published interview from their website.

Much love to Jodi and Dylan who continue to support me, even when I have had to miss special events, baseball games, and other family time. Please know, this is all done to support our family.

A big shout out to my crew over the years (Alan, Evan, Russ, Rob G, Rob W, Sean, Eli) and especially Jay, my partner in crime, who continue to be the best folks to work with and know how to throw a party and put smiles on clients’ faces!

And, finally, a special thank you to Jeff Glassman for being a great mentor and like a big brother to me for over 20 years. Without you, Press Play would not be what it is today.

Contact us today to book your next special event.  Great summer rates available for graduation parties, summer BBQ’s, and other events.

All of us at Press Play would like to wish our families, friends, partners and clients a very Happy Holiday season!!  Thanks for a great year!

We, especially, want to thank all of our current, and past clients, for an amazing 2016!  We truly enjoyed helping you celebrate your wonderful events; whether it was your son or daughter’s Mitzvah, your wedding day, corporate holiday parties, Sweet 16s or many other special events.  Thanks again for choosing us!

We want to send a big shout out to our vendor friends and partners who have helped us create spectacular experiences for all of our clients.  They continue to go above and beyond and we appreciate all of the support they have provided us.  We would highly recommend any and all of these wonderful and passionate folks!  Thank you all!

Press Play had the pleasure of DJing many events/fundraisers, for some of Boston’s local organizations; including The Jimmy Fund, The Sean D Biggs Memorial Foundation, A Kid’s Brain Tumor Cure Foundation, and The Wayside Youth & Family Support Network.  It was an honor being a small part of these important events.

Special Thank You’s to the town of Needham, MA, our home base, the Needham Business Association, Temple Beth Shalom and all of the elementary schools and businesses for welcoming us and choosing us to help entertain our local community.  We are big proponents of “local supporting local” and could not have asked for a better community to be a part of!

And, of course, I cannot thank my outstanding team of SuperStar DJs enough for their amazing effort, dedication and passion for providing the soundtracks for all of these great events.  Alan, Russ, Rob, Ekko, Evan, and, especially, my right-hand man Jay, I could not do this without you.  You guys are the best!

Finally, I want to share with you a recent article from the Boston Globe, about a recent Bat Mitzvah.  Jay, Evan and I had the privilege of DJing this Bat Mitzvah for a family friend.  With all of the craziness of 2016, from the election to the global terror attacks and more, it was great to end 2016 with this amazing story of strength, perseverance, inclusion, family and community support.  We were extremely proud of Zoe and her entire family.
