I'm going to try this now but while I was working on this in pgAdmin3
query builder tool, I got the results I wanted which was to just query
my employee table and translate the employees.manager field from
INTEGER to their actual name referenced in 'managers.name' as show
below:

psql (9.1.2)

Type "help" for help.

zoo=# SELECT
  employees.id,
  employees.fname,
  employees.lname,
  managers.name AS manager
FROM
  employees,
  managers
WHERE
  employees.manager = managers.id AND employees.fname = 'Carlos';
 id | fname  |  lname  |    manager
----+--------+---------+---------------
  1 | Carlos | Mennens | Phill Collins
(1 row)
