Jesse is a navy veteran and a fleet marine force corpsman. Jesse after spending time downrange had trouble adjusting and ended up battling depression while still in the uniform. He was stigmatized by his chain of command for asking for help and decided to leave the uniform. In a chance meeting with the founders of Warrior Surf, Jesse discovered a love for surfing. Jesse was one of the first classes to go through an intensive program designed to take a holistic approach to health and mental wellness. The program provides community and a sense of purpose while teaching mindfulness techniques. Jesse recently got back from a trip to Guatemala where the program takes graduates for a once in a lifetime surfing experience. Warrior Surf is completely free to veterans and families.
