Here’s a little bit about me. Also, look at my dog. That’s a cute dog right there. My wife is nice, too.

 
 

A few things about me!

I grew up skateboarding, making funny youtube videos with friends, and playing punk music outside Chicago, IL. I’m a bit of a nerd when it comes to music and football. Which are random things to be nerdy over, so let’s have a conversation. I’m an enneagram 7 (“uH oh wAtCh OuT”)

My wife and I met in Nashville, and on our year anniversary of dating, I had to put a ring on it!! We live in Nashville with our pup, Tycho. He’s a good boy. We are both basic and are really into wine and food. (who isn’t in 2020) If we’re not eating together, you’ll find us hiking with Tycho, playing music, or writing on our couch as we listen to lofi-indie music.

I’m currently writing and recording an album under my artist name Clearhead. I’ve been writing, recording, and playing music since I was 12 years old. (Back when Ska was cool lol) This year I’ve really taken the time to learn audio engineering and producing, it’s been super fun. Thank you for reading, and feel free to send me an email. Let’s chat!

 

Much love,

MG
