My name is Jay Cooke, and I currently live in Greenville, SC. However, I was originally born and raised in Medina, OH. For six years, I worked as a sous chef, honing my culinary skills and creating delicious dishes. But recently, I felt a strong pull back towards the arts, specifically writing and illustration. It's amazing how our passions can evolve and lead us down unexpected paths.Aside from my artistic endeavors, I am a huge baseball fan. Having played the sport myself for several years, I have developed a deep appreciation for the game. There's something truly special about the crack of the bat and the excitement of a perfectly executed play.When I'm not immersed in the world of art or baseball, I find solace in nature. I absolutely love going on hikes through the mountains, breathing in the fresh air, and taking in the breathtaking views. And every now and then, I embark on a spontaneous road trip, exploring new places and creating unforgettable memories along the way.Life is a beautiful journey, and I'm grateful for the diverse experiences and passions that have shaped me into who I am today. From the culinary world to the realm of creativity and adventure, I'm constantly seeking new ways to express myself and embrace the wonders of life.Read more about this authorRead less about this author
