Born in the late 70's to a respectable couple who were torn between granting their offspring a title that once resided among elders in their family or that of a modern day rockstar. They chose to blend the two, thus providing their son a new last name. Despite the confusion, young Cleetus took an early interest in music and played lead guitar in a local cover band while in High School. When faced with the challenge to pursue his dream of becoming a musician or that of a potato farmer, which his first name suggests, he chose to pursue music. The rest is history. He is now a potato farmer that lives on a large plot of land on the outskirts of Lincoln, Nebraska. He has a wife who is very mediocre to the eyes but a caring one at that. His two children have taken on more traditional names and as such are referred to as Stacey and Bickford. Cleetus has since left his former life behind and changed his last name back to that of his ancestry - McGasckel.

Cleetus grew up in a loving household. His parents sought to be his friends more than guardians or discplinarians, and oddly enough he began to hang around with some of the wrong crowd in High School. He began experimenting with drugs and premarital relations. Unwilling to take a hard stand against his lifestyle, his parents hid in denial until thigs got much worse. He was hardly able to get through school. It was only through the comforting words of his Grandmother Lizzy Harper that he found the will to push on. Immediately after High School he moved to Albequerque, New Mexico where he began to work as a barback at a local Mexican restaurant. The restaurant owner discovered Cleetus' talent with music by accident one night when he was caught doing the air guitar in the kitchen. The owner inquired as to his passion for music and quickly hooked him up with some of his friends whos guitarist had just passed away from a run in with the ebola virus. The group hit it off, and Cleetus had never been happier. Not only had Cleetus found somewhere to exercise his passion but he had also been drug free for nearly 7 months. His band was his support group.
His life really began to take a turn for the better. He became a small group leader at the local Baptist church where some of his band members attended. He was quite involved there and things were looking up. It was in the fall when he received word from his distant mother that his father had passed away. This hit him really hard and he promptly moved home to be there for his mother. His relationship with his mother flourished over the ensuing months and his bitterness grew lighter about him having to leave a life he loved in New Mexico. With so many fond memories of the church family he had developed in New Mexico, he decided that going to church would be a fair way to integrate back into his local community. The very first Sunday, he laid eyes on Fairley Mustoben, a beautiful six foot blonde who was of Hungarian ancestry. They had tea after church and began to see each other regularly. It was not a year later that they were engaged and then married. They lived happily every after with their two children who went on to be involved with the family's potato farm.
