Jesse grew up and attended school in Beloit. He worked for Jensen's Café, and later at Thompson's OK Tire for several years. He also worked at the Randall COOP, before working for Dave Kadel on his farm, where he worked cattle and helped with harvest until his health would no longer allow him to work.
