As time went on he made a few important contacts and accomplishments in Chicago's entertainment scene. In 1983, he redesigned the lighting and sound system for 2 clubs owned by Jim Flint, The Baton Show Lounge and the Re Doubt.At this time he was also working very closely with the now famous Frankie Knuckles. After redesigning the sound system for his club the PowerPlant 1015 he became Frankie's personal sound engineer and opening DJ for the next 4 years.
