At the age of 17, he obtained his first position as a marketing representative, working in the home improvement industry. A quick-learner, Jesse moved from marketing representative to a management position before branching into sales.

From sales, Jesse transitioned into finance, helping launch a start-up offering home improvement loans. In 1999, Jesse Gee acquired this start-up and within six years, the company boasted over 1,000 employees in 30 locations, with an aggregate loan volume of over $1.5 billion annually.

In 2005, Jesse sold his interests in Freestand Financial to a private equity firm and started a new company, Venture Commercial. At Venture, Jesse put his finance and construction background to work, creating a lending and commercial development business. Four years later, Jesse sold Venture Commercial to enter the exciting, fast-growing solar energy industry.

As Chairman of a solar energy company, Jesse helped guide the alternative energy company to become one of the top solar energy providers in the Southwest. Now expanding eastward, the company fulfills the alternative energy needs of 12 major US markets.

Jesse currently serves on several boards in the energy, finance, and construction industries as a director and has interests in dozens of businesses
