Jessica was born and grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan. She graduated from Central Michigan University as a marketing major in the business school. Afterward, she moved to Richmond, VA to be closer to David (her soon-to-be husband), where she worked in hotel management for several years. David joined the Navy and they moved to Jacksonville, FL and then to Italy.

Jessica met Jesus in Jacksonville in a significant moment with her ailing mother and with God. Both David and Jessica, and her parents were radically touched by His presence and began a new walk together. Since then, Jessica has been embedded in ministry, serving in various church leadership roles for decades, some volunteer and some vocational. She also carries nearly twenty years of experience practicing the inner healing ministry.

Jessica holds a Master’s degree from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in Christian Ministries with a concentration in Pastoral Care and Counseling. Charlotte has been their home since 1998, where they raised their three children. Jessica has a heart to build the church right into the heart of the Father.
