Does anyone know why Pete Orta left the band and what he is doing now?

He left because Word gave him a solo contract, but I really don't know if he is still with Word or even in CCM anymore. As far as I know he only made one solo album with them.

He's not performing, but as of late, he was writing/producing for Jaci Valsquez (sp?).

He played in Jaci's band for a short while after he left Petra, I believe, before the solo album.

The majority of the former band members left because Petra simply wasn't touring enough for them to support their families. I saw Pete in concert with Petra two or three times...He's a wonderful guitarist and quite a character.
