Jesse is a social media consultant and web programming geek living in the woods of Vermont because he can't bring himself to leave the state's gardens and swimming holes. Currently, Jesse is co-owner of Catalyst Webworks—a web development and social media consulting firm in White River Junction, VT. In this role, Jesse travels the country teaching businesses and organizations how to tap into the power and audiences of social media without annoying or alienating their customers.

Before launching Catalyst Webworks, Jesse was the Web Editor at Chelsea Green Publishing, where he built the company's web site and online marketing strategies. His social media work there was noticed and covered by Publisher's Weekly, Book Business Magazine, Publishing Trends, Vermont's Seven Days weekly, and the Independent Book Publisher's Association.

Jesse is the author of several books about internet ventures including Expand Your Business Using eBay, and Start Your Own Blogging Business. He looks forward to the day he has time to take on more writing.
