Jacob Testa

Old guy, lurker, best beard on staff. Graduate of Washington & Jefferson College and William & Mary Law School. I work at Bard College and spend most of my free time either listening to or making music. When I'm not doing that, I read things, watch things, and go on reasonably long walks. I like everything from Sufjan Stevens to Every Time I Die, but Modest Mouse is the best.
