I began both auditioning with Pearl Jam and recording for Eleven. In the fall of 1994, I joined Pearl Jam.

I finished the recordings I had started with Eleven. Matt Cameron joined for the rest of those sessions.

In January of 1995, my family and I moved to Seattle. Pearl Jam did the first of their live radio broadcasts, Monkey Wrench Radio, along with many other Seattle musicians.

I began hearing rumors of apossible recording session with Neil Young. I was a huge fan of Neil's.

I began the process of recording myself seriously in the fall of 1999. If I could finish an album of my own music, I would. Five years later I am happy to say I have.

We completed and released 'No Code' in 1996. We began some off and on touring for that release.
