Jesse Olsen

Jesse went straight from geek to teacher as he studied engineering at the University of Portland and moved across the country to teach high school math at Validus Preparatory Academy in the Bronx (that's NYC, as he quickly learned). During JumpRope's founding years, he continued to teach full-time, and only recently did he take the plunge into JumpRope full-time. He remains the chief academic officer, chief product officer, developer, and general pain-in-the-butt around the office.
