About Me
Me (Jesse)

My name is Jesse, I'm a 24 year old college student currently living in Tampa, FL. My current course of study is biology for pre-medicine, but I am taking a lot of other classes that either spark my interest or that I find useful.

I am a graduate of the computer graphics and design program at Keiser College in Sarasota, FL but later decided that I wanted to do something that had more of an impact on society and allowed me the chance to actually work face to face with others.

I was born in Venice, FL and lived there for the bulk of my life, but later moved to Green Bay, WI with my girlfriend and stayed there for about two years. While I was in Green Bay I attended the University of Wisconsin - Green Bay, worked at Brewbaker's pub as a bouncer and Speakeasy as a bartender. I currently rescreen pool cages in my spare time to help pay the bills.

Some of my interests include technology, design, programming, sports bikes, cycling, travel, the outdoors, exercise, philosophy, medicine, SCUBA, animation, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Anime, and martial arts movies.

I've also recently become much more aware of man's impact on the environment and living in an area that I really don't need to travel far ride my bicycle almost everywhere I go, I'd even like to one day cycle across the US... well maybe one month.

I'm a very social person and also a sensation seeker so I enjoy being in situations where I get alot of stimulation and conversation. I'm really not a big fan of bars that I can't have a conversation in, but do like to go out alot. In addition to Hooters®, I find that I frequent Howl at the Moon, Margarita Mama's, Peabody's, and recently Stumps in Tampa. When in Venice I can be found at the ranch or at Durty Daneen's.

Through this tour I hope to see the world and gain a better understanding of other cultures and maybe set a record of some sort... and have some fun.
