Currently spending most of his time either consulting or media buying for various clients (exclusively through The SmartSystems Media Group), Southern California native Aldo Bender has over many years enjoyed a wide ranging career in the media market as we know it today. While in the past indeed guilty of jet setting around the world with his boxes of 12" vinyl records DJing at large dance venues & festivals, he has, to his credit, also held down modestly respectable jobs as a TV Writer & Producer, Senior Managing Editor for SoCal's Clublife Magazine, Sports Promoter, Agent & Announcer, Record Label Boss, Music Producer and Recording Artist. Before any of that, Aldo spent several years as a resident professional Ski Instructor in Mammoth Lakes, CA (where he learned to DJ). He is a long time Mac enthusiast who actively resides in Southern California with his beloved German Shepherds. On occasion, he still dabbles in Music Publishing and Sound Design.
