Jesse helps leaders, teams, and communities turn pressure into performance without losing their humanity. Drawing on a combination of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and lived experience, he teaches a simple, memorable method called B.R.A.C.E. that converts uncomfortable moments into clarity, empathy, and forward motion.

Pressure isn’t the enemy, panic is. Jesse’s keynotes equips audiences to navigate high-stakes moments with calm strength, practical empathy, and a repeatable method they can use immediately. In today’s always-on world that rewards speed, certainty, and outrage, that cocktail breeds reactivity, not results. This talk helps people slow the moment down, separate pressure from danger, and respond with intention—whether at work, at home, or in the public square.

With over two decades of experience in cybersecurity, network administration, and risk management, combined with a background in criminology and behavioral science, Jesse brings a unique blend of technical expertise and human insight to his speaking. His creative pursuits in photography, videography, and cinematography further reflect his eye for perspective and meaning.

Born from his passion for helping others grow, Jesse began sharing his message on turning pressure into purpose through speaking engagements and larger conversations—helping audiences everywhere find a better version of themselves.
