Owner and Principal Investigator/Senior Archaeologist
Jesse is an experienced archaeologist specializing in cultural resource management. Jesse began his love-affair with archaeology in high school when he took his first anthropology class. A man on a mission, he graduated with a BA from the University of Nebraska and dove straight into graduate school at the University of Montana where he earned his MA in Anthropology. Since then, Jesse has been working as a professional archaeologist. His primary area of expertise is in meeting state and federal regulatory requirements. As a Principal Investigator (PI) he has managed and supervised archaeological inventory, monitoring, testing, and data recovery projects throughout the Intermountain West, Plains, and Great Basin regions and has managed and directed more than 100 cultural resource projects for state and federal agencies, energy development companies, and mining clients. He has identified, documented, interpreted, and provided National Register of Historic Places recommendations for more than 1,000 cultural resources. If you ask Jesse, he'll tell you that the best part of the job is the opportunity to work in an outdoors office. When he's not at work, Jesse is exploring rivers with a fly rod, trail running, attempting to cook French cuisine, and traveling the world with Nicole. Ask him about his pet rabbit, Theo!
