Jesse Irwin

Ever since Jesse was 10, he's always wanted to go into journalism, specifically broadcasting. Throughout high school he participated in as many journalism related activities as possible, such as being Sports Editor for the school paper, creating and anchoring the school's online news channel, doing the morning announcements over the intercom and more. Jesse also was the place kicker for his high school's football team, making All-City his senior year. Furthermore, he was a starting singles player for the City Championship winning tennis team, and participated as a player and coach for several basketball programs. Jesse has three sisters, ages 8, 21, and 25, as well as four great parents. In October 2012, Jesse was forced to withdraw from Pennsylvania State University after he was diagnosed with Crohn's disease and spent the remainder of the year hospitalized. He has since made an incredible recovery and is fortunately living a normal lifestyle. Jesse has since then transferred to the University of Pittsburgh and plans to continue his journey toward a career in either sports broadcasting or television news.
