Dear readers, welcome to my personal website.
Ideally, The Mid-Sized Picture will serve as a touch point for colleagues, family, and friends to see what I’m up to. Additionally, I hope that this website might be interesting or useful for anyone else who stumbles upon it.

For those in the latter category, my name is Jacob Bruggeman and I’m an Ohioan, son, brother, student, aspiring historian and storyteller, editor and writer, politico, and local government advocate. My work experiences and writings cover a range of topics as broad as the bits of my identity noted above. This website is an attempt at collecting and organizing my aspirations, projects, and writings for myself and those, like you, who care to read about them.
Thank you for spending some time with me,
Jacob A. Bruggeman
