Jesse grew up in Texas. His wife, Mercy, grew up in Montana. Jesse felt the Lord calling him away from his career in auto-body and towards work in ministry around the same time that they met and married.
 

Jesse attended seminary at Multnomah University. During this time, Mercy continued her career as a nurse. They fell on hard times when Mercy had to leave her career due to chronic illness. The Lord continued to provide for them in amazing ways as they endured through many challenges that continued to come their way as Jesse finished up seminary.

Within the years that followed, they started a family as they continued to move towards the Lord’s call into ministry. They have been blessed with two children. They love to enjoy the outdoors by taking walks, riding bicycles and camping.
 

Jesse is deeply passionate about sharing the Lord’s Word and seeing it come alive in the lives of those around him. He feels honored to serve in the beautiful town of Sweet Home.
