Levi attended New Albany High School then moved to Scottsburg, Indiana and attended Scottsburg High School very briefly before moving back to New Albany. He worked for his uncle making pool tables until one day he had an unfortunate accident with a nail gun and quit the pool table business. While recovering from the accident he was asked by a good friend who had just gotten a record deal with Geffen records to go on the road and work as a guitar tech. (This is not to be confused as a "Roady", for a roady does not do any work but just hangs out all the time). Levi took the job and for several years off and on, traveled across America, Canada and Mexico with the band doing tech work and videography. During this time was asked to star in the bands first hit release "Touch, Peel, and Stand" music video which aired on Mtv in the fall of 97' and was named the number one video on Mtv in 1998. Levi went on to do two more music video, respectively. In the spring of 1998 it was announced that the band would be touring with mega rock-stars, Metallica for a summer long tour across America. Levi was to video the whole tour and later his footage would be used in the Geffen produced home video titled, "Days of the New" which was released in 1999 in stores across the country. The band garnered several awards and eventually sold a total 4.5 million copies in the United States and overseas. After traveling for several years on the road levi quit the music business and returned home to New Albany, Indiana where he took several different jobs ranging from sales to pipeline surveying. In the summer of 2005 levi attended American Intercontinental University, an online college where he studied International business and marketing. He had a 4.0 G.P.A. and decided college wasn't for him and dropped out early knocking him off of the Dean's list and lowering his GPA from a 4.0 to a 3.0. He then took a job in upper Manhattan, New York working for an independant record/movie company called "Appelhead".
