Membership Director: Lenny Borkon

Lenny started his DJ business in 1978 at the beginning of the Disco Revolution. He attended Penn State University and attained an Associates Degree in Electrical Engineering. After graduating with his degree, he was then hired by RCA to work in their advanced development group where he had the opportunity to work with designing logic circuits and programming microprocessors in machine language. This gave Lenny a unique opportunity to experiment with and build some of the first computer controlled lights ever made. This made for a perfect fit, so he hired a dance instructor and the two took their high-tech show on the road, entertaining groups and clubs.

When Disco began to fade from the spotlight, Lenny then concentrated on performing fun weddings and parties. Since then, he has stayed on the cutting edge of technology and performance, most recently adding music videos and live video mixing to his considerable skills. Lenny joined the American Disc Jockey Association when it formed in the late 80s, early 90s, maintaining his membership ever since. He continues to further his knowledge, skills and professional and volunteered to fulfill the position of Interim Membership Director for the CPADJA.
