Pastor Jesse was born in Newport Beach and grew up in Southern California, spending the summers of his elementary years living with his Grandparents in Kapaa, Hawaii (on the island of Kauai). Jesse met and married his wife Kate at a young age, having three children together— Megan, Samantha and Caleb. He graduated from Pepperdine University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Finance, then continued on at Pepperdine to earn his Master’s (MBA) in Marketing. He enjoyed a successful career in corporate America as an executive for Wells Fargo and later IBM, all the while completing his Master’s of Divinity at Fuller Theological Seminary. Pastor Jesse has also completed some doctoral work at Duke Divinity School and is ordained in the Presbyterian Church (PCUSA). But his greatest joy by far is serving the people of God as a pastor, encouraging others as they learn to know, love, and walk with Jesus.
