=Current Projects= Cheek to Cheek

=Background= Jesse has a very eclectic and diverse background in various fields, sciences, and arts. He picks up and drops skills as a day-to-day thing. He is never living in the now, but wondering what to do tomorrow.

Random fact: Jesse used to be an Network and Systems Specialist.

Music
Jesse was born and raised on music, with profound knowledge in classical theory and piano. Jesse also has experience in Guitar, Clarinet, and limited in Violin and Cello.

Despite his classical upbringing, Jesse enjoys listening to, composing, and performing many modern forms of music (and some nostalgic), including Acid Jazz, Rock, Industrial, and especially Trip Hop.

Random fact: Jesse has perfect pitch. In ideal conditions, he can even tell how many Hz a pitch is off from the closest Western tone in the range of (with about 5% error).

Dance
No longer performing (or even remembering for that matter) modern, Jesse is now a strictly social dancer. He likes dancing Lindy Hop (Savoy Style and Hollywood Style) and Balboa. He is also seeking to expand into Collegiate Shag, and perhaps (once his Lindy Hop foundation is secure) into West Coast Swing and Carolina Shag as well.

He dances frequently at Sugarfoot Stomp (Alhambra), the Atomic Ballroom (Irvine), Tia Juana's (Irvine), and travels often to visit various other events such as Lindy and Bal Exchanges. He is frequently seen in Pasadena, San Diego. Sometimes he goes to San Francisco (no longer on business).

Random fact: Jesse doesn't know the electric slide.
