AJ WATERS
AJ Waters is a Gretna show choir dad and avid musical arts enthusiast. After a championship high school career with Grand Island’s Ultimate Image, AJ went on to enjoy collegiate competition at Doane. Since retiring from the spotlight, you will likely find him keeping his pipes fresh cheering at Husker sporting events, or yelling at video games with this kids. Often accused of over excessive use of the microphone in rehearsals, he is excited to put his talents back to good use here at Prime Time. AJ is a husband and father of four, and in his spare time enjoys riveting conversations with customers looking to solve business problems with software.
