Mr. Jessee earned his Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics for Secondary Education from the University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego) and his teaching credential from San Diego State University. He is passionate about making math engaging, approachable, and meaningful while creating a classroom where students feel supported, challenged, and confident in their abilities.

Before joining JCS, Mr. Jessee taught high school mathematics and enjoys helping students discover that math is about problem-solving, perseverance, and building confidence. He believes every student is capable of success and strives to create a positive learning environment where questions are encouraged and mistakes are seen as opportunities to grow.

Outside of the classroom, Mr. Jessee enjoys spending time with his wife and daughter. Together they love playing video games, watching movies, and finding new ways to have fun as a family. He has also been training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for the past three years, which has taught him the importance of discipline, resilience, and continuous learning.

Mr. Jessee is grateful to be part of the JCS Mountain Oaks community and looks forward to building meaningful relationships with students and families while making this a fun and successful school year.
