Jesse's aviation journey began in New York while working in advertising & consulting, taking flying lessons at White Plains (KHPN). After completing his Private Pilot License in Cessnas and Instrument Rating in Pipers, he spent years flying friends and family throughout the East Coast. Regular trips to LA for work introduced him to Proteus, where mountain flying courses sparked his interest in moving West. In 2019, he transferred to LA with an ad agency and completed his CFI training at Proteus. Since August 2020, he's been teaching full-time, helping students achieve their Private, Instrument, Commercial, and Multi-Engine ratings.
