Reagan toured through 36 states with the groups he played with in 2009-2011. Following his musical career, he spent three years in the tricycle taxi transportation industry for Savannah Pedicab. Between his time pedicabbing and playing music, Reagan got involved with with the SCAD Savannah Cross Country team as an assistant coach. After the existing head coach retired, Reagan took the job and served 7 years as Head Cross Country Coach at Savannah College of Art & Design before retiring this past spring.
