It’s a Sunday afternoon. I’m in my pajamas with my girlfriend asleep in a pile of blankets next to me. And the band that constantly reminds me the importance of living fully while we’re alive is softly rearranging one of my favorite albums of all time, Vessel, on its 10th anniversary. It’s playing out of my TV via YouTube in my tiny apartment. I’m clutching a pillow I made out of my worn-out Emotional Roadshow Tour t-shirt. My left arm still sports “sahlo folina” and a yellow flower, permanently inked in @joshuadun’s handwriting. @tylerrjoseph is actually talking about Regional At Best. And in this moment, things make sense. I’m passionate about a lot of things, but there are few things I love the way I love @twentyonepilots. Thank you for everything, Tyler and Josh. #twentyonepilots #TØP #TylerJoseph #JoshuaDun #JoshDun #skeletonclique #livestream #Vessel #10thanniversary #vessel10years #favoriteband https://www.instagram.com/p/CnKz0M5PmqL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“End of an era for me: 2024 marks the end of my tenure as drum tech for #twentyonepilots and #joshdun
To say this is a bummer is an understatement, for sure.
I have truly cherished the near-decade I got to spend being a part of this camp. From late night TV performances, music video shoots, tuning drums on the recording sessions for Trench, the insane live-stream, and every concert in between, there's very little about this experience I would trade away.
I am going to miss dearly @kennithsellars @klyphskinner @lkprop @lilgup100 @hidannymega @paydeezy12 @bechilltj @samwise_the_fish @tylershapard @koleyboley @yungjimdun and hope to see you in the road soon!
To @tylerrjoseph and @joshuadun, thanks for the experience of a lifetime and the jettison of my career.
To the amazing #tøpclique and ALL of the TOP fans, thanks for making a guy feel special!!
Good things are in my future, as I have agreed to continue drum teching and mixing monitors for #sum41 through this year. Be on the lookout for me and @frankzummo.
I leave you with a clip from a soundcheck in 2015 (when I still had amazing, long hair) that pretty much sums it up for me.”
