About Jesse
My Story
As a teenager, I was unable to participate in activities like baseball or playing video games. I spent much of my time outdoors building treehouses, forts, and experimenting with simple machines. While attending a local festival I was inspired by a blacksmith; I was intrigued by the concept of shaping a metal bar with heat and hammer. I quickly researched and built my own coal forge and began to hone my blacksmith skills.
Life with Stargardt Disease
With no central vision and very blurred peripheral vision, every day is filled with challenges and the necessity to overcome and adapt to what would be the simplest of tasks for most people. I can do the same work as others, however, just not in the same way or in the same amount of time.
Events
