I Had Wanted To Play Drums Since

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.

We Were Playing A Small Club In San Diego And The Power Had Gone Out In The Building. Eddie Had A Lighter And Kept Us Lit Backstage. We Became Very Good Friends And Spent A Lot Of Time Together Including Hearing Eddie Sing In Some Of The Bands He Was In At The Time.

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.

I Began Both Auditioning With Pearl Jam And Recording For Eleven. In The Fall Of 1994, I Joined Pearl Jam.
