Meet the JSM Cooperative Team

A man of many hats, J. Michael imagines the JSM Cooperative as a story engine that can breathe life into nonprofits across all 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals. From his days leading GenUN at Rollins College to launching The Man in the Ballcap, he is obsessed with turning fiction into fuel for real-world change.

Alongside the team, he brings characters and causes to life — hoping to captivate a large, diverse community by writing across genres while keeping one promise: 100% of novel profits go back into the world.

Jack is the first set of eyes every story meets. From clunky commas to tangled plot threads, he quietly removes every distraction before a reader ever turns the page. A storyteller in his own right, he knows how to keep dialogue sharp, characters grounded, and pacing honest.

His work lives between the lines — making sure every sentence serves the bigger mission: stories that readers love and nonprofits can grow from.

Jacob designs and architects the online pathways that bring readers, donors, and dreamers to the Cooperative. With 8+ years in digital marketing, he helps ensure that every ad, campaign, and creative experiment feels human — and leads back to our stories and our mission.

If you discovered JSM through an ad, a scroll, or a perfectly timed post, there is a good chance Jacob’s fingerprints are on it.

Junior orchestrates the visual language of JSM Cooperative: from website experiences and UI to cinematic book mockups and pre-prints for early readers. His work sits at the intersection of design, technology, and narrative.

Every time a reader says “wow” before reading a single word, there is a good chance Junior’s design magic is to thank.

Bobby is part producer, part futurist, part golf-course story scout. His job is to listen — to donors, to communities, to nonprofits — and translate what he hears into narrative blueprints the Cooperative can build from.

Whether he is at a charity event or on the green, he is gathering the threads that become characters like Pepe Miguel and campaigns that actually resonate.

Cora is the bridge between our online world and real-world communities. She manages social media storytelling, digital interactions, and our presence at events and gatherings — making sure the Cooperative always shows up as its full, authentic self.

From heartfelt posts to in-person conversations, she helps readers feel less like “audience” and more like family walking the Camino with us.

As the JSM Cooperative grows across children’s stories, young adult fiction, and adult fiction, the web of tales and timelines keeps expanding. We are looking for someone who loves organization as much as imagination — a project manager who can help us build the internal systems that keep everything flowing.

If you thrive in chaos, live in spreadsheets, and still get excited by wild ideas, we would love to talk to you.
