Meet Jesse Gormley — a writer, educator, and recovering overthinker with a Master’s in Education and two decades creating digital content. Whether teaching elementary students or talking to grown-ups who should know better, I’ve spent years explaining the obvious with surprising patience.

I’ve written for Business Insider, Allrecipes, Ripley’s Believe It or Not, Grunge, Nicki Swift, and other corners of the internet where curiosity meets clickability. I specialize in weird history, pop culture deep dives, and topics that make people say, “Wait, what?”

I like stories that zig where you expect them to zag. Underdogs. Lost facts. That one toy from 1987 you can’t believe existed.

When I’m not writing, I’m usually trying to figure out why this guitar riff doesn’t sound like it did in my head. Or staring off into space, wondering if I missed my true calling as the lead singer in an '80s hair band.

Either way — I’m here, I’m writing, and I'm definitely eating snacks.
