Prior to joining us Jesse worked at an animal hospital in Agoura Hills. He is a southern California native, having spent all but two years of his life in Ventura County. He comes from a family of veterinary technicians. His mother has been a Registered Veterinary Technician for over twenty years, and his sister is also a veterinary technician.

Jesse has an associate’s degree from Moorpark College. He’s had many animals surrounding him all of his life, from cats, dogs, parrots, desert tortoises and snakes. He’s even “babysat” chimpanzees and orangutans!

In his time away from work, Jesse enjoys playing the guitar, piano and ukulele. He also likes to kayak, run, camp and many other outdoor activities, especially if they can include his mixed-breed dog “Delilah.”
