Jere Foley

Looking critically at Jere's past, you might think they coined the phrase "Jack of all trades, master of none" specifically to describe him.

After all, he has modeled for fitness and fashion. He loved doing voices for radio. He's acted in opera and on community stages, for television commercials, and in several independent film projects. He once investigated a murderous werewolf. He was extremely honored when asked to portray mythological figures like Hercules, and Oberon, and Orion. His illustrious list of co-stars includes a cranky horse, a poison-toting Bond Girl, Titania Queen of the Fairies, and the best dance partner in the county. He even tried his hand at directing a short film.

Then at the end of 2012 he quietly took a job as a production editor with Wisconsin's oldest publishing company - The Wisconsin Historical Society Press. He learned to manage every aspect of creating a book and sending it out into the world. Shortly thereafter, books he's written started appearing.

When you compare all of these different roles, Jere's past actually has a common theme.

What ties this all together? If you ask Jere what he does for a living, he replies "I belong to The Story."
