The main bands he has played in over the years have been The Cadets, Tracy Shedd, Little Gold and Blunt Bangs; though he has played in and toured with many other bands. He moved all over the U.S. but settled down in Athens in 2013 to start the pressing plant Kindercore Vinyl with Ryan Lewis and Dan Gellar of Kindercore Records. Since that time he has also continued to make music with Little Gold and Blunt bangs and has also revived his high-school record label Science Project Records he started as a teenager. His love of the indie rock he grew up with as a teenager in the 90s has continued to be his favorite and that comes accross in the DIY ethos of Kindercore Vinyl, Science Project Records and the many musical projects he finds himself in.
