Michael Kelly Sutton, commonly called Kelly Sutton (born May 4, 1987), became known in 2010 for starting the websites HackCollege[1] and Cult of Less.[2]

Biography

Sutton was raised in Everett, Washington and moved to Southern California to attend Loyola Marymount University in 2005. Sutton is currently a software engineer working for Gusto.

Cult of Less

Sutton founded the website, Cult of Less as a way to "unclutter his life."[3] The site listed all of Sutton's possessions and past belongings. He became a known figure among "digital minimalists"[4] (people who replace physical media, such as DVDs and books, with digital media, such as streaming services). Sutton claimed in 2010 to live out of two suitcases and two boxes.[5] On his personal website, Sutton in 2013 called the Cult of Less a "past exploit"[6] and in 2016 noted that he had "a girlfriend and a waffle iron, so we can all agree that project is likely over."[7]

HackCollege

Sutton began the Web site HackCollege in September, 2006.[8] Since its inception, the site has grown to include a show. The show was briefly a part of the Revision3 network.[9]

Sutton was featured in the lifehacking documentary, You 2.0,.[10]
