Baseball, our national pastime, has always been a major part of Jesse’s life. Having played the sport through his college years, baseball took Jesse all over the United States and exposed him to many different regions and cultures. That experience helps Jesse understand how to address courts, mediators, arbitrators, and potential jury pools when litigation arises for clients in a foreign locality. However, Jesse’s biggest challenge (and accomplishment) in baseball has been coaching his daughter’s t-ball team, primarily keeping the team focused on fundamentals instead of playing “ring around the rosie.”
