He founded the Hi-n-Dry studio in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He slowly converted his old living quarters (a large loft) into a fully functional recording studio where many of Morphine's songs were developed and recorded. Since his death, his bandmates Dana Colley and Billy Conway have run the studio commercially and it is now the center of Hi-n-Dry records, a small independent label founded in part by Colley and Conway.

I was kind of a dreamy child - a Curious George baby. As a child, people told me they thought I'd grow up to be a poet. You have to wonder what kind of kid someone would say that to.

The word 'Morphine' comes from the word 'Morpheus,' who is the god of dreams, and that kind appealed to us as a concept...I've heard there's a drug called 'morphine' but that's not where we're coming from...we were dreaming, Morpheus comes into our dreams...and we woke up and started this band...we're all wrapped up in this dream messages, and we were compelled to start this band.
