About Me

Hi, I’m Jesse.

I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas, and earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Texas at Austin—where I also met my amazing wife, Susie. After college, I spent two years working at a healthcare tech startup before starting medical school at Nova Southeastern University’s Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine in Fort Lauderdale.

Our first daughter was born at the start of my third year of medical school, and we’re now expecting our second—another baby girl! I recently matched into Diagnostic Radiology at UF-Jacksonville and am currently completing my Transitional Year in South Florida.

Outside of the hospital, I spend most of my time with my wife and daughter. I love being active—especially playing soccer, golfing, and getting outdoors. I’m a coffee enthusiast (AeroPress all the way ☕), a dog lover, and a loyal fan of Breath of the Wild.

Books like The Mindbody Prescription by Dr. John Sarno and The Body Keeps the Score by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk have deeply influenced me. I’m fascinated by the mind’s ability to contribute to—or even cause—physical illness, and how this connection can be harnessed for healing.

I started this blog to share what I’ve learned through experience—both in medicine and in life. My hope is that something here resonates with you or helps you along your own path.
