Before joining Pfefferle Management, Jess and her family relocated from California to Wisconsin in 2005 to provide a better upbringing for their children.

Outside of her professional life, Jess enjoys spending time with her family—especially her children, including her oldest who is now in heaven, her spouse and best friend Adam, their blended families, and dear friends. Though she misses her mom, brother, and lifelong friends back in California, she keeps those bonds strong through visits, FaceTime, phone calls, and messages.

In her spare time, Jess enjoys the simple joys of life: basking in the sun, trying new foods, camping, listening to live bands, swimming, thrifting, karaoke, bingo, and creating memorable events for family and friends. She has a deep passion for mentoring, educating, counseling, and helping others—whether in times of need or just because it’s the right thing to do. Jess brings her whole heart to everything she does, both personally and professionally, and lives each day with empathy, gratitude, and purpose.
