Theodore Jackson

Theo and his older brother Edward grew up together in a working-class family in Manassas, Virginia. Their schoolteacher mother ensured their education and encouraged their aspirations. Six years ago, after several trips west and a good deal of careful research, the brothers took their savings and invested in a modest, well-kept general store in the growing town of Never, New Mexico. The two have since become fixtures in the town, their business an undeniable success. Lately, they have been looking to expand into other investments to serve the booming population, and have been at loggerheads: Edward, the more disciplined and cautious of the two, remains unconvinced by many of his younger, more impulsive brother’s ideas.
