Jesse Parsons
CO-FOUNDER
Jesse helped found The Coin Trading Company in 2016 (when Bitcoin was selling for less than $600). He has always had an entrepreneurial spirit and currently is part owner of two other companies as well. Jesse has a BS in Civil Engineering from the University of Washington in Seattle and an MA in Education from Biola University near Los Angeles. He has worked as a high school teacher, a civil engineer, and in school improvement efforts prior to becoming a business owner. Jesse loves to travel with his family and whether scuba diving with a sea turtle in Honduras, traversing the Moroccan desert on camel, driving a rickshaw through Shanghai, or cruising the fjords of Norway, Jesse always focuses on relationships and connecting people rather than just sightseeing. He is known as a sharp troubleshooter and is passionate about improving processes and people. Jesse and his wife, Debora, are the proud parents of eight amazing children, and they currently spend much of their time in Redding, CA.
