As a young and idealistic teenager who dreamed of nothing other than being a rock star or professional football player, Dean set out on his adventure taking what he thought was going to be a summer job, and moving from buying and promoting dances and concerts for his local youth center to becoming an agent. At 18 Dean started working for the largest and most successful agency in the state of Wisconsin which later became known as being a breeding ground for great agents, and he has never looked back.

While living in Los Angeles as a single father,after leaving his role as an agent with a major agency who brought him to LA, Dean started a new career working for tech search firm that specialized exclusively in the computer games industry While learning the new industry of computer programmers, coders, and designers  he combined his charismatic experience of nurturing emerging musicians with this new professional experience. 

The Paramour Group combines these two areas of practice creating an altogether unheard of and deeply unique, dedicated boutique firm that operates on a level unlike the large corporate interests most often served within the industry.
