Jesse found himself working tirelessly and wanted to break away to do his own thing. Leaving his previous job, Jesse became a property manager for his brothers' sister company and enjoyed the flexibility of being able to work and travel as he pleased.
One of Jesse's most incredible adventures was taking a 20+ day trip down the Colorado River down the Grand Canyon.
For most people this is a bucket list experience since only 33,000 people get to float the river every year.
Jesse did it four times!
There's six to seven million people that visit the Grand Canyon at the rim.
Jesse has had some close calls during his adventures. He once burned his hands while repelling down a cliff, and he also flipped his raft in a class three rapids.
Jesse and his brothers had planned to hike Kilimanjaro in October of 2021 but COVID-19 canceled their trip. The pandemic may have altered their plans, but it did not affect their spirit for adventure.

What does LIVE A GREAT STORY mean to Jesse?
"For me it makes me want to have a story to be able to tell people. When I'm old and gray I want to be able to share it with people. I'm writing a story every day to be able to have something to look back on. When I'm old and gray, I can't move around and stuff like that, that will lift my spirit because I was living a great story and it's something cool that people can all relate with."
