Jesse Scott Owen was born in Orlando, FL, and moved to New York the day he turned 18. Since then, he has worked to formulate, and then to live by, these words: 'Jesse is a writer, doing his best to live genuinely, pursuing others as he is pursued by God.' On Sundays before and after church, you can find Jesse chain smoking on 6th Avenue. When feeling inspired, Jesse blogs at The Sweet and Lowdown and tweets @JesseScottOwen.
