DJ Peace began his DJ career in 1982 with his twin brother, Jon. He went from entertaining at high school dances to working for Holland America and Norwegian Cruise Lines as DJ, MC and cruise staff. This solidified his knowledge of big band music, show tunes and 50's/60's music since the average age was 70 years old. DJ Peace continued as a DJ/MC in Pasadena, CA and became the Chapter President for The American Disc Jockey Association in 1996 which led to his time as national president for the organization. His love of music and people makes him one of the most diverse music programmers and likeable personalities in the Southern California area. Now in his mid-50's, Mark specializes in handling events for the "over 40" crowd.
