He has experienced athletics, training, and rehabilitation from both sides of the injury and has vast experience working with people of all ages and athletic levels.

As a physical therapist, Jesse enjoys getting to know his clients beyond their primary complaint, and utilizing a combination of education, manual therapy, and exercises to help them recover. He enjoys working with people of all ages and abilities, but does especially enjoy working with those establishing or returning to a work out program, and those pursuing endurance sports. Jesse has extra training in the realms of wellness and can help with strategies to create a more well balanced life. In 2022, he became a Certified Barbell Rehab Method Therapist- focusing on helping those with pain continue to exercise and train through their issues. ​Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with his wife, two cats (the cutest cats in the world, objectively), running, reading, and generally hanging out.

I have been working with Jesse at Zenith Performance and Wellness to rebuild strength in my knees after dealing with ongoing issues from an old Achilles tendon rupture and surgery.

From the start, he helped me understand how everything in the lower body is connected and created a plan that addressed the root of the problem, not just the symptoms.

Jesse paid close attention to form and strengthening, explained the purpose behind each exercise, and adjusted things for me based on how my knees, legs, and back were responding. In every session, he listened, evaluated my progress, and pushed me just enough to improve, but not to a point where it felt unsafe or too much. His knowledge and focused approach made a big difference. My strength and stability have improved (and continue to improve). I appreciated the care he put into each visit.

I highly recommend Jesse and Zenith Performance and Wellness to anyone looking for quality physical therapy.

Upbeat, friendly, deeply supportive during hip replacement

The spirit of Zenith is upbeat, friendly, and deeply supportive. From being greeted by Allie at the front desk, to interacting with James in the office, to sessions with the professional providers, it just feels good to walk through that door! I have worked with PT Mariel, both before and after hip replacement. She is equal parts exceptional knowledge and motivational joy. And I've just started working with Alex, the personal trainer. He is also obviously very knowledgeable, dedicated, and personable. Both he and Mariel are committed to creating individualized programs by listening and responding to their clients in order to build not just optimal physical strength and recovery but also to educate us in ways that will support our on-going health and resilience. Zenith really does live up to its name!

Intimate, welcoming, and genuinely caring

I can’t recommend this place enough! The environment is incredibly intimate and welcoming. Had a spectacular massage from Jesse, and have been working with Michael and they’re amazing. The team here doesn't just see you as another client; they genuinely care about your well-being and want the absolute best for you. It’s rare to find a place that balances high-level performance with such a close, personal touch. If you’re looking for a community of people who are dedicated to taking care of you and helping you reach your goals in a space that feels like home, this is it. Super grateful for my zenith fam.
