Jesse has worked the gamut of project types from high-performance single-family concrete homes to luxury hotels and post-secondary student experience facilities.

In 2016, Jesse was appointed by Mayor Sly James to serve on the Industrial Development Authority, a conduit bond issuer.

Jesse and his family of 5 are on the tail end of a live-in gut rehab to a net-zero carbon home in Volker; He looks forward to the day when he can sit comfortably on the front porch, drinking PBR and Laphroaig, knowing that the project is finally done. His wife is skeptical that this will ever happen, but is proud of him for being so confident and positive.
