"I care about creating a positive impact through skating."

Currently, Jessy works with over ten sponsors; from Vans, Outlaw skateshop, baker boys distribution, Deathwish, shake junt, Bones, Ace, Nixon, and Volcom, to Vegan As F*ck, and The Unscented Company. Representing them in every corner of the world, whether it be at Jackalope Festival in Montreal, or the Pan-American Games in Columbia.
