He played drums in GWAR, Alter-Natives, Bio Ritmo, Plasmodium, Tulsa Drone and CSC Funk Band and currently plays drums in the DC-based band, Time Is Fire, which is fronted by an Iranian-born Sufi poet and backed by players steeped in punk, dance and experimental music,. He is currently an editor-at-large for The Vinyl District-an indie record store blog that focuses on the vinyl record medium.
