Born and raised in Milwaukee, WI this 10 verteran has an musical background since 11 years old playing trumpet, piano, drums, and singing. At the age of 18 Dru started Djing in college playing your more Top 40 music. It was at this time House music and the rave sceen was coming into it's own in Chicago. After going to Dru's first rave in Chicago this was the music, vibe and sceen that Dru wanted to be apart of for the rest of his life. Dru started rocking the ungerground WI rave sceen and in 99' moved to San Diego, CA.

In Southern California the sceen was different then WI. It was more the club mainstream then underground and it was at this time Dru fell in Love with the more Progressive/Trance/HardHouse sound. The changing moment in Dru's career was meeting Jon Stinson owner of Sinurgey Productions. Jon took Dru under his wing and taught him everything he knew. Dru helped Jon in taking Club Velvet (at the Del Mar Race Track) from 700 people every Saturday night to 3,000 people every Saturday night and a staple in the Southern California club sceen. From there Sinurgey Productions started doing huge events in LA and Vegas as well.

In the Fall of 2001 they were about to pass a law banning rave's in WI. Dru went to capitalize on it. He went back to WI and started E-Clipse Productions taking all the advice and knowledge from Jon. Dru's plan was to bring the underground rave sceen into the mainstream club's in WI, as it was in San Diego and most other major cities. Dru and E-Clipse Productions started doing Club Roxy in Madison, WI every Thursday brining in over 1,000 college students/clubbers. Dru's concept was simple (that of the great Paul Oakenfold's) to have your own residency and bring in a big name DJ once a month to help get your name out there more. In addition to Club Roxy Dru started Montage Monday's as well as putting on other special event's around the WI/IL area. Meanwhile when not promoting his own show's Dru was busy Djing other event's and on radio stations 92.7 - Madison/105.7 - Jainsville.

In 2003 Dru moved to San Francisco, CA. It was at this time that Dru's career really started to take off. Dru continues to put on his own events around the Bay area and is part of Lighter Knight's DJ collective (www.lighterknights.com). Dru's resume of club's in SF include Ten15 Folsom, Fuse, Vertigo Bar, Hush Hush, Azul, Element Lounge, Suede, Shadow Lounge, Fluid, iL MASSIMO Lounge, Lit Lounge, Red Eye Lounge, EZ5, Naked Fish, Club 6ix, Nickies, Roe/Prive,and various underground parties, just to name a few. Dru's new CD release Runway Journey will be out early July of 06'. For more Info and booking information go to www.lighterknights.com or www.e-clipseproductions.com.
