Jesse was born in Yreka, California. Known to his friends as “Bo.” Bo attended Yreka High School. On May 23, 1975, he was hired by Yreka Police Department as a full-time patrolman. His interest in athletics and stock car racing kept him in close contact with young people. Bo had a genuine soft spot in his heart for kids.
