| JESSE A. HAMILTON A native of Portland, Ore., and educated at Western Washington University's journalism school, Jesse started his reporting career in Washington state, where he worked at three mid-sized dailies. In addition to several murder trials, a fatal forest fire, the grisly work of a serial killer and an airplane tragedy, he covered tribal issues, including a controversial whale hunt conducted by the Makah tribe. In 2002, he joined the staff of the Hartford Courant, the nation's oldest continuously published newspaper. There, he covered the military, including a stint in Fallujah, Iraq, writing about the Marines. He was hired as the paper's Washington D.C. bureau chief, covering the 2008 presidential election and the inauguration of Barack Obama. Jesse is now Washington Bureau Manager for A.M. Best, a financial news operation focusing on the insurance industry. He's also a freelance writer, doing work for newspapers, magazines, Web sites, journals and books. When he's not working, Jesse is an enthusiastic traveler. He scuba dives, explores trails on his mountain bike, skis, camps, practices his photography and, of course, he writes. He lives in D.C. with his wife, Audrey. [ JESSE'S RESUME ] [ JESSE'S SITE AT LinkedIn.com ] |
