From an early age Jesse loved to draw and adorned any blank space with his sketches. He chose to pursue drawing and enrolled in Drexel University's College of Media Arts & Design (CoMAD), majoring in Graphic Design. He graduated in June of 2003 and currently works for John Gorge Design in Philadelphia.

Jesse lives in south Philly, where he shares a room with his black cat Pud. He enjoys drawing, painting, reading, playing guitar (electric and acoustic), and listening to music.
