Jesse is a Lead Wildlife Technician with Skedaddle’s Twin Cities branch. Raised in Union City, California, he graduated early from James Logan High School before jumping straight into blue-collar work. He started his career in tree care with Davey Tree’s Tree Surgery Division, trimming trees near power lines for PG&E, and later worked with Acorn Tree Company on residential projects. Along the way, he developed a love for working outdoors and even rescued baby squirrels and hummingbirds, bringing them to rehab centers.
After moving to Minnesota, Jesse discovered Skedaddle—a unique opportunity that fit his skills and passion for hands-on work. Today, he helps homeowners resolve wildlife issues with humane solutions. Jesse enjoys the variety and challenges the job brings, from everyday problem-solving to major projects. Outside of work, he spends time with his two dogs, outdoor activities, and relaxing weekends with family.
