Jacob Osborn was raised in Plainsboro, New Jersey (five minutes outside Princeton) and attended the University of Wisconsin - Madison. While much of the material in Jenny Green stems from Amy Belasen's experiences in Canada, it was Jacob's time in Madison that made Jenny's story of culture shock all too familiar. He now lives in Los Angeles where he works on both books and screenplays and waits tables. He met Amy while working at a barbeque restaurant and hopes sincerely that, thanks to their partnership, he won't have to spend too much more time devoted to waiting tables.
