Colleagues describe him as "Jesse and I participated in the Startl cohort of the Dreamit 2010 program together. He is an incredibly driven person who keeps his eye on long-term vision while balancing this effortlessly with the demands of day-to-day operations. This summer he assembled a sizable development and creative team, fostered an amazing team dynamic that was an inspiration to other companies, and seamlessly tied together design, development, user testing, and biz dev processes. Jesse also shared his time and sought after expertise with others constantly. He is an amazing person who takes everything to the highest level possible." and "I happened to have the opportunity to listen to Jesse speak at the 2009 SXSW Interactive Festival by dumb luck. What I found was an engaging discussion of an intriguing topic in an area that presently seems to be redefining itself almost daily. I'm just beginning to integrate social media into my entertainment projects, and though I find myself somewhat knowledgeable of what's out there (the services are endless!) it's great to see that there are talented individuals who can help guide those of us who still aren't at full efficiency. Jesse is one of those people."
