Audio Describer

Greg was born and raised in a northern suburb of St. Louis, Missouri. There he spent 12 years of his life in private catholic education, incurring an insurmountable sense of guilt and an affinity for khaki pants and collared shirts. After moving to the Twin Cities, Greg quickly succumbed to the siren song of the metropolis’s underground, and he began attending punk shows and poetry performances, crafting mischievous stories in creative writing workshops at the University of Minnesota.

However, the hipsters never accepted his wholesome prep school aesthetic. Wholly incapable of pulling off tattoo sleeves or tight pants, Greg turned to the literary community for self-validation. He earned a B.A. in English Literature and Creative Writing, and interned briefly at Speakeasy Magazine. After graduating, he spent a year in the South of France, teaching English to preteens in a couple of middle schools. He never stopped writing, and, upon returning to the States, was determined to make a career out of his fetish for language.

Greg’s work can be found each week in the arts section of Vita.mn, where he chronicles the art parties and opening receptions of the local gallery scene. He also publishes a fanzine entitled The Anti-Blog. He still likes punk rock and poetry (though he’s abandoned the khakis), and his new-found writing cred allows him to navigate the scene free of any insecurities, effectively beating the hipsters at their own game.
