Derek Natzke
senior AV manager | futurist
Hometown: Denver, CO
After paving his own path to success for many years, Derek Natzke—founder of Paramount DJ Services—exchanged his thriving entrepreneurial career in favor of a full-time position with automätik, enticed by the glory of training and event production that he saw from across the fence.
For years, Natzke has served as one of automätik’s go-to video producers, and he joined automätik with a diverse background in videography and live event production–making him an invaluable addition to the automätik team. As a compliment to Derek’s video production services, he still travels across the state of Arizona in support of his DJ business, just because he loves the job!
Natzke resides on the outskirts of Phoenix with his wife and six children. When he’s not spinning a record out of his extensive collection, Derek is serving the community through local non-profit organizations. That is, when he’s not chasing those kids around the house!
