It all started when...
Jesse got his start for his professional career in Southern California working with Red Bull as rigger and POV (point of view) specialist. Capturing unique angles from different perspectives allowed him to stay outside the traditional way of shooting a scene. Being an adventure athlete himself gained him intimate access to all action sports he was shooting; from skiing to surfing. After a 2 year whirlwind of traveling around the country with Red Bull in it's early years, & learning all aspects of production, he took a break to travel with a friend in Southeast Asia. That adventure kick started a travel plan that would pull him away from production for a couple years. He sought out working on a live-a-board dive boat in the Bahamas & became a dive master & then traveled back to Southeast Asia, Australia & New Zealand. When he returned to the States, he missed the mountains of Colorado & moved to Denver where he became immersed in the live production scene. He started his own production company in 2004 that focused on speciality POV cameras, RF(wireless), then robotics. He always gravitated to the moving shot and fluid look, so it was only natural to start shooting on a steadicam and jibs. His worlds of robotics, RF and custom rigging allowed for the development of his first cablecam in 2008, and then in 2010 redesigned and enhanced the system creating Condorcam®.
