Dear World,

My name is Earl.

Sort of. My full name is Nathaniel Earl Chung. I was born and raised in a suburban town not too far from New York City as part of an awesome family of four. Growing up, my parents and sister frequently called me “knucklehead,” their kindhearted nickname for the son and younger brother constantly running around trying to participate in every activity imaginable, losing everything in every place along the way. From this process though, I realized that the creative, active, and social experiences I was involving myself in each made me feel some unique yet similar way, and that the pursuit of participating in all imaginable made me feel alive, all the time.

A lot has changed since I was ten, but that part of me has stayed the same: still running around, aiming to experience everything, losing stuff everywhere I go.

Now I’m 23-years-old, and I just began my full-time career as a management consultant with PwC in Boston. Alongside the job I actively engage with my passions for songwriting; performing; and recording original music, exploring the outdoors, and connecting with the community. I still feel that I gain energy from this process of keeping up with and elevating these passions simultaneously. Ten or 23, I find it a blessing that I have so much trouble sitting still. This summer the 10 in me reminded the 23 in me how much I enjoyed doing creative projects, so I figured it was time to launch a new one.

Enter Earl on Earth.
