About Jesse

Hi, my name is Jesse, and Sigma Star Systems is my baby.

Here's some stuff about me:

I have a bachelor's degree in computer science from the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee and have been programming since 1997. I've been married since 2007 and I'm a father as of September 2012. I am also an avid PC gamer, board gamer, and I dabble in board game design. I also have a history of music composition, though it's been over 2 decades since I last wrote music. I also use to play a lot of beach volleyball.
