- 2000: The release party for my first record 'Melodramatics' with my high school band 'Vertigo'. We sold 350 tickets and played for more than 2 hours, all as high school kids. The five of us all still keep in touch.

- 2003: My last show with Unit Five, who is to this day one of the greatest bands I've ever played with. Harrisonburg VA's 'Mainstreet Bar and Grille' was packed and we got to play with our brothers Races to April. I loved those songs and those guys and that show in particular was magic.

-2005: Los Angeles California with Eowyn. This was the first time I'd been flown to play, and the first band I played with in Nashville. We played for over 1000 kids that were just pumped to have us there. The crowd energy was truly something spectacular that night.

-2006: Steel Roots (filmed in Charlotte NC) with Knowda Verbs. I had always wanted to play Hip-Hop so this was an exciting musical adventure for me. Doing Steel Roots was a great taste of playing for the cameras, and I called home and got all my family and friends to watch the show.

-2007: My first show with Nathan Jey. This was a small coffee shop gig, but Nathan's energy on stage was something I hadn't experienced before. I was thrilled to just be there behind him and able to add something to his songs.

-2008: Centrifuge at Ridgecrest with The Rose Factor. We played worship services at this big summer camp every morning and evening for a week and spent much of our down time practicing. A couple days into the week we had fully gelled and felt tighter and more solid than I ever have.
