He started a weekly event in San Francisco with his business partner Johnny 5, called Ritual, which lasted for 3 years and at one point was the largest reoccurring Dubstep event on the West Coast.  They eventually expanded into Los Angeles and other clubs in San Francisco.  Later, he became a music director for another commercial radio station, Live 105, for their late night dubstep program, Wobble Wednesday.   in 2014 he was on the cover of the SF Bay Guardian newspaper and won their annual Goldie award.
