I’m Jesse — born and raised in the Pacific Northwest (actually a fifth generation Washingtonian!), currently reveling in this little life I've created with my family in the beautiful Snoqualmie Valley.

I’m someone who notices glittery scenes on gray days - the way seasons shift, how kids grow overnight, the simple peacefulness of our landscape (just ask the 19,429 photos on my phone). I value simplicity, connection, and experiences that feel genuine rather than overproduced. Exploring the Washington mountains is in my blood; my mom being a 4 time Mt. Rainier summiter, and my dad spending his youth traipsing the hills hunting and bushwhacking — I'm drawn to places that feel like they have a story: farms, forests, backyards, mountain towns — and I’m happiest when life slows down just enough to notice what’s happening around me.

Outside of work, I love being outdoors, exploring new places with my family, and finding creative outlets that feel both grounding and playful. I appreciate humor, honesty, and people who don’t take themselves too seriously. Community matters to me, and so does creating space for others to feel comfortable being exactly who they are.

At the end of the day, I’m someone who believes that the ordinary moments — the messy, fleeting, beautiful ones — are the ones worth holding onto.
