In November 2016, Goodman was elected city councilmember for the City of La Palma, California.
Goodman was the drummer of the Southern California-based music group Sublime from 1990-1992 and played on 14 of the 22 songs on the bands multi-platinum selling 40oz to Freedom including "Date Rape," "Smoke Two Joints," "54-46 That's My Number/Ball and Chain," and "Hope". Additionally, Goodman co-wrote the songs "Doin' Time" and "April 29, 1992 (Miami)" from Sublime's eponymous album.
In 1996, after Sublime's Bradley Nowell died, a group was formed to perform Sublime songs at "Enough Already," a benefit show. This group went on to become the nationally touring act the Long Beach Dub Allstars in which Goodman was the co-drummer, DJ, percussionist, producer (Right Back), songwriter, and voting member.

The Long Beach Dub Allstars broke up in 2002 and Goodman toured as the drummer for Dreamworks artist Jessy Moss in 2003. The band appeared in the film Win a Date with Tad Hamilton! in 2004.
In 2008 Goodman remixed Good Charlotte’s song "Broken Hearts Parade" for their Greatest Remixes album with longtime collaborator and friend Michael Happoldt. Goodman and Happoldt also conducted the reunion of LBDA in 2012.
