Our Staff
Austin Atteberry
Executive Director & Co-Founder
Austin hails from the great city of Chicago where he was raised and where he attended school at Northwestern University (06'). After completing his degree, he released a record as a singer-songwriter and was persuaded to move to Music City - Nashville, TN in 2008. A few years into his time in Nashville, a beautiful girl named Sara moved in next door to Austin and changed the course of his life forever. The idea for Sing Me a Story was born in 2011 and started to take shape in May of 2012 after Austin resigned his position at his day job in Nashville. Austin carries an MBA from Pinchot University in Seattle and was married to that beautiful girl next door, Sara, in 2013. They have two dogs (Fat Sam and Coli) and 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.

Elle Chrampanis
Programming Coordinator
Elle Chrampanis is a senior at Bucknell University, originally from New Jersey. She is pursuing a double major in psychology and music. With her psychology degree, her focus has surrounded child development, educational practices, and well-being. She has found the profound effect music has on childhood through her own musical experiences as a cellist and through her studies. As the oldest of six, Elle has been surrounded by children and works at a nature school in her freetime. With this background, Elle is so excited to be working with Sing Me a Story to truly see what music can do for children in this therapeutic context.
