Changes in Lifestyle: One Door Closes, Other Doors Open

“When one door closed, another opened: leading me to a security position in my local school district,” says DJ Echo of Echo Entertainment.

2024 was a transformative year for me. After 19 years as a nuclear security officer, I faced an unexpected change and was let go, prompting a search for new employment. During those 19 years, I got married, welcomed two amazing daughters, and ventured into my DJ passion. The demanding 12-hour shifts, 4-5 days a week, made it challenging to pursue DJing fully. Yet, I embraced my journey and successfully built up Echo Entertainment.

When one door closed, another opened: leading me to a security position in my local school district. This opportunity freed up my nights, weekends, and holidays, allowing me to finally spend every holiday with my family. It also enabled me to host the most events of my life and granted me valuable insights into what teenagers enjoy at dances. 2024 was incredible, and I am determined that 2025 will be even greater!
