Jesse is a public school teacher in Hayward, California. He also serves as a Community Services Commissioner for the city and volunteers for many local community organizations. His life's work is informed by a passion for understanding and building bridges, whether in the classroom or through civic engagement.

He is married, a father of two adult children, and identifies as neurodivergent. A truth that has profoundly shaped both the challenges and unique insights of his life.

His debut novel, The Fabric of Oblivion, explores these very intersections: the lines between subjective reality and external expectations of a neurotypical world, the courage of reclaiming identity, and the enduring power of choosing one's own narrative.
