TESTIMONIALS

 
  • It’s his ability to combine the creative and the practical that make him stand out in a field of others. His concern that everything is done to the best of his ability is woven into every area of his life, and wants to help others who would desire to be their best at whatever it is they do.   
    — Matt Bushling
  • Jesse has exceeded expectations. Not only has he elevated our entire in-person and online worship experiences through video, sound, and lighting he was able to do so by using much of our own current equipment. Jesse’s ability to understand, plan, implement and train to the highest levels is impressive.
    — Pastor Gary Mariano | The Gate Church
  • Jesse puts an incredible amount of effort and attention to detail into everything he does. He has a great eye for how things should look and a great ear for how things should sound. We have worked on many creative and technical projects together, and every one of them has produced results beyond expectation because of his passion in these areas.

  • I have worked with Jesse on a number of multimedia projects over the years. He has a broad range of technical expertise in dealing with equipment, platforms, and digital systems.

  • Jesse completed a full digital conversion of our church's sound system and upgraded our stage lighting to LED fixtures.

This conversion process was seamless and was completed promptly, which did not interfere with regular church operations.

  • I have been leading groups like churches for going on 15 years and I have never seen anyone who knows more about production than Jesse. He really knows how to put all the pieces together to make any production be the zenith of professional. His knowledge of the equipment, his understanding of the importance of the message and his down to earth personality make him the ideal person to work with in any environment.
    — Andrew Chamberlin | CEO at Jericho Road Ministries, Inc.
  • Have you ever been so frustrated or confused by an aspect of technology that you want to rip out your hair or quit altogether? That was me!! Jesse helped answer many questions I had and took the time to speak with me on the phone from the perspective of a musician and then as a Christian. His help with custom tracks for my worship team is going to enable my team to grow from 1 to as many as I can fit on the stage.
    — Reba Babyak | Gospel Church
  • I personally watched Jesse take a church media and worship team with limited budgets and experience to a professional level by utilizing many of the tools our church already had. Jesse thinks out of the box and creatively and carefully finds solutions to many hurdles that a small church or business runs in to.
    — Eric Bartholow
  • Jesse has a heart for servant leadership. For a man who consumes very little caffeine, he is one of the most energetic, motivated, and task driven people I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. I know if Jesse is given goals, they will be completed with a level quality and creativity that regularly surpasses his peers. His knowledge of technology, music equipment, audio and visual equipment, and troubleshooting is vast.
    — Nick Sukosd
  • He consistently communicated everything with us and came back multiple times to check on our progress to ensure we were understanding how to work the equipment and if we needed him to fix anything else.  Not only did he communicate with us consistently, but he took time to train us on all the equipment.
