Jesse is a Colorado native and graduated Cum Laude from Colorado State University with a double-major in Technical Journalism and Speech Communication.

Jesse is married to his beautiful wife Sjahna. They are looking forward to the 2025 and 2028 Heisman Trophy Celebrations when their two sons, Kellen and Braden, are the odds-on favorites to win college football's most prestigious award! When he is not at work Jesse likes to spend time with his family, on the golf course, and playing with his two dogs, Ripken and Maddux.
