My name is Gregory Hill.  I have no sense of smell. I was raised in the farming community of Joes, Colorado.  Upon graduation from Liberty High School, I attended the University of Colorado at Boulder where, in 1995, I earned a degree in English Literature.   I currently live in Denver with my wife, Maureen.  I work at the Univeristy of Denver Library.  My job is boring.

Since 1998, I've performed (guitar, tenor saxophone, vocals) in various bands in Denver, including Mr. Tree and the Wingnuts, The Orangu-tones, and The Rugburns.  I've recorded three CDs as Soapy Argyle.  All three discs have received a modest amount of critical praise.  In 2001, a song I co-wrote with Matt Shupe and Jason Bitner appeared on an episode of This American Life. 

I currently perform in, write songs for and take care of the publicity for the indie pop band, Six Months to Live.

For two years I wrote as Strapping Danforth in a local paper called Riff Music Magazine.  After Riff went bankrupt, I killed Strapping and forced his son to dispose of the body. A full account of this can be found in The Trials of Elk Undercarriage. 

Last summer, I completed, 100 Poems About Monkeys, a hand-bound art book which includes: 100 illustrated poems, a CD with the poems set to musical accompaniment (recorded by myself and my boss, Merisa Bissinger), and a felt finger puppet (sewn by Merisa). A copy of this book now resides in the DU Library Special Collection, where it will remain for all of eternity.

Just for kicks, I decided to write a novel.  I finished the latest draft of The Funnercise Handbook in early 2008.

I'm now working on my next novel.

Good day to you.
