Always a sports enthusiast, Jesse made it his goal after his injury to be active and pursue a career in parasport. That same summer he was on the court trying sitting volleyball for the first time, and was quickly named to the national team. Jesse’s message is simple, “having a disability is not going to stop me, and it doesn’t have to stop anybody.”
Hi, I'm Jesse. The world of parasport is ever-growing, and the greatest thing is that there is an opportunity for everyone. Sport has opened opportunities for me and taught me so much. It is now your chance to feel the thrill and power of parasport. I'd be delighted to hear from you!
We acknowledge the land on which ParaSport® Ontario was built is the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit and the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe, the Wendat, and the Haudenosaunee peoples, many of whom continue to live and work here today. This territory is covered by the Upper Canada Treaties and is within the land protected by the Dish with One Spoon Wampum agreement to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes. Today Toronto (also known as Tkaronto) is home to many First Nations, Metis, and Inuit peoples and acknowledging reminds us that our great standard of living is directly related to the resources and friendship of Indigenous people.
