Jessie grew up in Lander Wyoming, a small town outside of Casper.  His dad was a GM mechanic growing up and always had a passion for hot rods. From Chevelles, G bodies and Trans Am’s; Jessie grew up wrenching on the best with his dad!  He began working at various mechanic shops and savage yards at a very young age, and spent all his time in the auto shop in high school. During high school he drove both his 79 Trans am, and the 82 Trans Am the “Transmaro”. He had a passion for racing from the time he could drive, and spent his years as a young adult learning different skills from various shops he worked at.

Stacie grew up in Loveland Colorado, an hour north of Denver. Her dad had a 69 step side C10 with a Muncie 4-speed and he taught her to drive in the truck. Stacie didn’t grow up around racing but when she turned 19, she got the bug and started bracket racing at Bandimere Speedway. As her car got faster she moved to heads up racing, and in 2005 won an NHRA Wally.  She sold real estate and owned her own property management company when she met Jessie in 2014.

In June 2014, Jessie and Stacie put their skills together and started Jessie’s Performance.  Their first shop was just a few hundred square feet and had no heat or water. The plan was to fix and flip a few cars a year… but within 6 months the company had more than doubled and hasn’t stopped growing since!  In December 2018, they decided to make the move from Greeley Colorado to Fort Worth Texas and the company has more than doubled since the move!

Jessie and Stacie are a husband and wife team, and are passionate about building cars and racing. Together they make a fantastic duo!
