In 2005 he earned Honorable Mention All-Pac-10 honors. He scored two goals and tallied two assists in his two seasons.

He returned to UW to finish school the next year and after college he coached at Whitworth for a year. While in Spokane he worked part time in a coffee shop and realized he wanted to do something he loved.

Hite moved to LA tried to work his way in the industry and meet anyone he could. He ended up moving back to Washington to save money and just released his newest album. He currently is playing shows all over the Pacific Northwest.
