Jesse Jacobsen, Purchasing Assistant<\/em><\/p>\n

My hometown\u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\n

That sleepy, forgotten borough of Staten Island, NY just across the water from us.<\/p>\n

An uncommon fact about me…<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a musician, I have performed in some of NYC\u2019s premier venues, from Otto\u2019s Shrunken Head<\/a> to The Delancey<\/a> (oh, and Alice Tully Hall<\/a> at Lincoln Center).<\/p>\n

The word or phrase that best describes me\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

A smile on my face, a song in my heart.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The most beautiful thing I\u2019ve ever seen is\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

The sun bursting through the clouds (and the subsequent sunset) over a valley from the mountains surrounding Turrialba, Costa Rica during a friend\u2019s wedding.<\/p>\n

My spirit animal is\u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\n

A tiger, mainly due to my childhood (and enduring) love of Calvin & Hobbes. Although if that means my spirit philosopher is Hobbes, I might have to reconsider.<\/p>\n

When I\u2019m not working, I\u2019m probably\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Playing music or taking her easy for all us sinners.<\/p>\n

My relationship with Mother Nature is\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Strictly platonic.<\/p>\n

If I won the lottery, I\u2019d\u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Say, man, what are the odds, I don\u2019t even play the lottery!<\/p>\n

A song I love so much that I played it until I was sick of it\u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\n

This doesn\u2019t really happen to me, even though I\u2019ll go through stretches of compulsively replaying favorite songs and albums. I\u2019m convinced that I\u2019ll never tire of The Clash\u2019s London Calling (it helps that it has 19 good-to-great songs).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
