Jacob Depue

I did my undergraduate work at Macalester College in St Paul, MN where I received a B.A. in Psychology with an emphasis in Neuroscience and a minor in History. I wrote for the Mac Weekly newspaper at Macalester and competed on the tennis team. In my spare time I enjoy reading, writing, playing frisbee, watching baseball and thinking about all the work I should be doing.
