Austin Atteberry, MBA (Principal) : Austin hails from the great city of Chicago where he was raised and where he attended school at Northwestern University (06'). He also received an MBA from Bainbridge Graduate Institute (13'). After completing his undergraduate degree, Austin released a few records as a singer-songwriter and was persuaded to move to Music City - Nashville, TN in 2008. Two years into his time there, a beautiful girl named Sara (who happened to work at the local children's hospital) moved in next door and changed the course of his life forever.
After trying to impress the cute girl next door by volunteering at the children's hospital, the idea of Sing Me a Story was born. In May of 2012, Austin resigned from his job and took on Sing Me a Story Full Time. Austin married the beautiful girl next door, Sara, in 2013. They have 3 kids (Ellie, Briggs and Willa) and one dog (Sam). They currently reside in the great state of Minnesota. Austin makes a mean Texas bar-b-que and enjoys the relationships he shares with those he loves the most.
