Jesse comes to YOUR6 with an impressive track record of leading in high-stress environments, coaching and counseling for top performance, and developing innovative leadership solutions as both an accomplished military professional and business consultant.

Jesse is an amazing addition to our team and a kindred spirit, said YOUR6 Co-Founder Michael Haynes. This is a very important time for our company to stay on point. Jesse adds to the quality of our management team and will keep us moving in the right direction at all times. I am sure of this! We are blessed to have him with us. Devine timing!!
