Jed is a J3E Press emerging artist, having written his first published short story in November 2022, and since then publishing only two others before becoming one of the founding members of J3E Press. One of those stories, though, took third place in the 2026 High Caliber Awards, and his poetry has been seen a bit more widely. Was in the Army from 1995 to 2020, deploying everywhere from Bosnia to the Central African Republic. Maybe Iraq a few too many times and Afghanistan, too. He retired as a Master Sergeant, specializing in Psychological Operations, having trained originally as a Russian linguist.
