Jesse joined Muskoka Kickboxing in 2018, training under coach Bill Quinn. He continued his training when owner and coach Joe Elliott of Big Country Lindsay acquired Muskoka Kickboxing in 2019. Jesse now trains under coaches Joe Elliott, Jeremy Knight and Dusty Middlebrook. Martial arts has made some of the biggest changes in Jesse’s life. It started as an exciting new hobby, 4 years and a belt promotion later, he is one of the lead youth instructors at Big Country Muskoka. Jesse is always eager to learn something new about kickboxing or jiujitsu to incorporate in his training, he strives to share his knowledge of technique and fundamentals in martial arts with his students. One of Jesse’s goals for his kids' classes is to instill the beliefs that they can be whomever they aspire to be, and that through their practice, martial arts can show them how to be phenomenal, kind hearted people. It’s something he wishes he had growing up, and is grateful to give the opportunity to future generations.
