Jesse McManus was born in 1986 and grew up in Minneapolis. After snatching a BFA in Chicago, he ventured Eastward to hug chums and learn lessons. Alas, it was a swift stint, as he’s now bound for Portland, where his heart will expand and he will smile again. Today he is job-hunting, to avoid his Mother’s cupboard, where the groaning ghosts of childhood bite toes and snap pens.
