Howdy, partner.

I’m Jesse James Cunningham, art director by day, creative cowboy by deadline. Like the notorious outlaw, I am also from Missouri, Kansas City to be exact - The greatest city in the world. Unlike the outlaw, my belt is strictly for cellphone holsters, I've only worn chaps once in my life, and I'm more likely to catch sunsets than ride off into them. I'm better known for crushing pop culture trivia rounds, perfect attendance at company sponsored happy hours, and stirring up saucy barbeque debates.
