I have been in several projects over the years such as The Newton Family (Southern Gospel), Cipher Zero (Christian Metal), Wright Flight (Southern Rock), Paths Left Undone (Progressive Instrumental Rock), Echoes of Imagination (Jazz Fusion/Pink Floyd Tribute, Cora (Jam Fusion), etc. Currently working on an instrumental project and with Green Jello as their drummer for future Georgia shows.
