Bio
Wes Jenkins was born May 6, 1952, in Hudson, New York.[1] He was the second child of Jay Harry Jenkins (1923–2015), an engineer at AT&T ("a winning monopoly before Mr. Gates made it popular") and an Army Signal Corps member in World War II, and Wanda Dorothy Jenkins (née Sudak, 1925–2014), a bookkeeper.[2][3] He had one older brother, Jay Lawrence Jenkins, who joined the Annapolis Naval Academy in 1966.[4][1] One of his great great uncles was American Civil War general Joseph "Fighting Joe" Hooker.[1]
Jenkins's family moved frequently during his childhood, living in Nassau, Newburgh, and Cornwall-on-Hudson in New York before settling in Ridgewood, New Jersey when he was in fifth grade;[1] he described his upbringing as being "raised by a pack of balloons".[5]
He attended the University of Hartford in Connecticut and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in social psychology.[1][5][6]
