In his eighteen years working as an artisan, with a career spanning all departments except decorating, Jessie has grown quite comfortable at MacKenzie-Childs, exclaiming "This is my second home!" As the glaze technician, Jessie has developed most of the procedures and helped perfect many of the materials used in his department. Jessie grew up in the area and his brother, who was one of the first MacKenzie-Childs employees, encouraged Jessie to join him in Aurora. Describing his ability to spend his day working with his hands, Jessie says "it's fun," and fittingly, he also enjoys doing carpentry and roofing in his free time. Jessie's Stamp: JS
