Michael Amish was born in Franklin, TN and moved around the country growing up in such places as Chicago, Milwaukee (go Brewers!), Seattle (go Seahawks!) and finally arriving for his formative years in Tarpon Springs, FL.  He graduated with a BA in American Studies from Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva, NY.  Growing weary of studies, Michael decided to walk off college and completed a 2,165 mile  southbound thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail in 5.5 months.  He has since worked for several national organizations with strong missions of education and sustainability including Outward Bound and Planned Parenthood- where he served as Education Director of North Central Florida.  Michael moved to Gainesville in 1997 to continue another constant path in his life- music.

Michael’s passion and respect for both the environment and community education ultimately came together in 2007 when he co-founded INDIGOGreen with owner, Liberty Phoenix with a mission to bring more sustainable building solutions to the swampy place he has come to love- North Central Florida. 
Michael is also co-founder of CREx (Carbon Reduction and Energy Exchange), an initiative of the 501(c)(3) non-profit Earth Givers which seeks to reduce the carbon emissions generated from touring musicians, festivals and other creative endeavors with education and locally-produced offsets.  

Michael has previously served on Alachua County’s Environmental Protection Advisory Committee (EPAC) and currently sits on Gainesville’s Community Redevelopment Agency’s Downtown Redevelopment Board,  and is the board president for the 501(c)(3) non profit Sustainable Alachua County.  Michael is married to Ladybird Salon owner Ann Marie and shares two wonderful children with her: Zander (5) and Ava Magnolia (3).  His other pursuits include composing music, hiking up mountains and cooking.
