Studio Cellist, Composer

“I love to push boundaries in my art. “Two things may outlive us all, composition and teaching. Pushing boundaries with art and through education is my passion.”

Jesse discovered the cello at age 10 and has been playing ever since.  Jesse holds a Bachelor of Arts degree and a K-12 certificate in public education.  He has been principal cellist of several different symphonies in various states.  He studied privately until the age of 22 and continued to progress quickly as a professional cellist playing in Carnegie Hall, Kennedy Center, on NPR’s All Things Considered, in Japan, Bulgaria, Italy, Czech Republic and Germany.  Jesse lives in the beautiful Flathead Valley in Montana, Previously he was playing a show in downtown Buenos Aires and recording with an artist there in Argentina.  Before that, he played with his acoustic trio “Fresh off the Vine,”  “Glacier String Quartet,” a jazz trio, and was/is frequently hired as a studio musician.  You may hear him play lead guitar with various groups if he is brave enough.
He is now working hard, composing music for his successful YouTube Channel and for ThinkWell-LiveWell.
