Jesse is available for interviews.

As a full-time, queer creator in an age where many spaces are rolling back their commitments to DEI, and LGBTQ+ brands, we know corporate America won't save us.

What does it mean to be a queer creator today? 

How does our spirit of defiance separate us?

How do we process the world differently?

Where does humor fit into our human connections?

Where the hell do we go from here?

Having built a successful gay-owned brand, that's reached thousands of customers, and 200+ retail outlets, Jesse knows a thing or two about finding your people, and standing out in a crowd.

His candles have been featured in Queerty, LinkedIn's Pride campaign, Green State, Out Front Magazine, Prevention, and on WNYC's The Brian Lehrer Show. 

And he's the author of F*ck It, I'm Buying a Cabin, a fun and relatable picture book for any adult who's ever felt burnt out by the grind of corporate life.

Jesse can also talk about his life as a sober creator and business owner. He launched Virgins On Fire Candle Co. in June 2020 on the day he gave up drinking.

And, he's always down to chat about the more practical sides of millennial small business ownership. 

Jesse is open to remote and in-person opportunities. He's Brooklyn-based.

He's comfortable on camera. Reel available upon request.
