Jamie Grefe

Jamie Grefe was born and raised in Michigan and spent ten years of his adult life working in South Korea, Japan, and China. He has worked as an English Language Arts Teacher, a Creative Writing Teacher, a Japanese-English Translator, an in-house Assistant Director and Video Editor for Japanese television, and a Video Store Clerk, not to mention his strange stint as a Gopher for the band AC/DC. Grefe has performed and edited noise and improvised albums under various project names, but gave up noise-making in Beijing for fiction-writing and onion pancakes. Grefe is currently earning his MFA in Creative Writing from New England College and lives in Los Angeles.
