Graduating from James A. Garfield High in his home town, he began his higher educational path nearly fifteen years after graduation. He really enjoys writing. That is partially what lead him to pursue a career in journalism despite not having experience other than the required assignments for his English classes. At the age of fifteen however, Jessie’s essay entry to an all expenses trip contest was selected among a winning group of fifteen. In the end, he got the opportunity to tour the White House with the winners from the national contest.
His only experience related to the arts comes from his musical performances as a teenager. On one occasion, he brought an audience of about six thousand to its feet during his rendition to Mexican recording artist Vicente Fernández’s song titled, No Me Sé Rajar, at the Youth at the Greek festival held at the famous Greek Theater in Los Angeles in May of 1999. While he does not deny the challenges that come with a journalistic venture, he is excited to give it his best and is grateful for the support of the Rampage staff and team.
