In 1999, he earned an MTV nomination for "Best Artist Website" (*the first and only year this category existed) for his Smashing Pumpkins website during the Adore/Arising Tour period. He would later join music retailer Sweetwater as VP of Marketing, overseeing their brand, content and video initiatives. A lifelong musician and sampling fanatic, drumatica™ is the culmination of over 25 years of sampling technology R&D that he obsessively continues to perfect.
