Biography

Jesse was born and raised in the Midwestern United States, in the city of Springfield, Missouri. Good weather and a desire to change his surroundings brought him west. At Arizona State University he majored in photography and art history while attending the Herberger Institute of Art and Design. Before completing his BFA, he studied and assisted with London's top assignment commercial and fashion photographers. These experiences laid the groundwork to strive for equally important careers in fine arts and assignment photography.

Jesse has had the honor to work with top clients and be recognized by the several awards his field has to offer. His clients include: AT&T, Coca Cola, Disney, ESPN, The Ford Motor Company, The John Paul Getty Museum, The NFL, Visa, and Warner Brothers.
