Jesse Gantzler

From a young age, Jesse learned the value of hard work, and in the process gained a skill set that has served him well in his professional career.

That versatility has made Jesse a critically important component in the operation of FarmBox Foods. As manager of their operating farms in Sedalia, he’s able to use his knowledge base in electrical and plumbing (as just two examples) to great effect, meeting challenges that require a little bit of ingenuity and the ability to execute a solution.

Some of Jesse’s earliest memories include going to job sites with his dad, who owned a concrete company with Jesse’s uncle, and being handed a broom so he could pitch in. When he turned 13, he went full time, and at age 16, got his contractors license and forged his own path. He worked with a framing crew, hung drywall, learned the plumbing trade from his uncle, and later flipped houses in the Denver area with his dad. Jesse is transitioning into an inspection and quality assurance role with FarmBox Foods, proving just how adaptable he can be.

A father of two boys, Jesse enjoys hunting, fishing, camping and riding his motorcycle when the weather is warm, and snowmobiling and snowboarding in the winter months. He plans to one day move to Wyoming or Montana and buy his own homestead.
