Bio

Nathan DeGraaf recently earned a BA in Creative Writing from the University of South Florida, where he is now seriously considering getting a masters degree as well. On weekday evenings, he can typically be found at any one of a number of North Tampa bars. On weekends, he typically cannot be found. When not drinking, fishing, watching sports, or having sex, Nathan likes to read, play the harmonica, and show up for work. Throughout the course of his life, he has been arrested six times because, as his father has often said, "the kid is fucking stupid."
