At an early age, Jesse accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior and united with Newberry Missionary Baptist Church. This profound relationship with God guided him throughout his life, shaping the man he became. His unwavering faith grounded him during turbulent times and inspired him to live with kindness, compassion, and unwavering integrity.

After graduating with the Lincoln County Class of 1978, Jesse continued his education and received his associate degree. He was not only a knowledgeable professional but also a lifelong learner who sought to expand his horizons.
