Jesse was born in 1982 and grew up in Florida where he lived on a lake, where he was often found either near the water’s edge or completely content to be in the water. It wasn’t until a warm spring day that Jesse first laid eyes on a mermaid. While visiting the famous Weeki Wachee Springs and seeing the mermaids perform "The Second Magic Show", and later "Mermaids of the World” show, Jesse was hooked on mermaids and there was no looking back! He began by creating fabric tails and over the years he created several, but today, Jesse’s choice is silicone around 2011, Jesse began playing with the materials and by August of that year he had created his first silicone merman tail. With no training, tutorials, or school to learn from Jesse taught himself through Trial and Error.
In 2012 Mermaid Creations, LLC was born; I had the privilege of meeting Jesse that same year at Mer-Palooza. Mermaid Rentals teamed up with Mermaid Creations and we did a little underwater filming one night after the pool party. Behind scenes footage Jesse recorded:
Meridian: What makes your Tails unique?
Jesse: Our attention to detail, our pricing, our 50% payment plan, our warranty, unique styling, and our free lifetime maintenance set our tails apart from everyone else. You simply won't find a better value from any other tail maker in the price range that we offer.
Meridian: Have your Tails ever appeared in Print or Film? Tell me about your favorite experience.
Jesse: No print or film work, yet. However, we are the new tail providers for Pacific Beach Hotel Honolulu. I have been invited to swim in a tail in their Oceanarium! As more and more people become familiar with our tails, I am sure they will start popping up in ads and on TV.

Meridian: Which Tail was your favorite to create and why?
Jesse: Any tail that resembles the tails used in the Splash movies are my favorite to make. I am completely in love with the Splash tails. If you compare the look of my tails to Mermaid Rental Tails, you will see where I get my inspiration.
Meridian: Do you have a muse or idol? If so, who?
Jesse: I based my fluke off Thom's tails, but changed it slightly so that it was not identical. Thom Shouse would be my idol in the Mer business. I am truly thankful to be able to call him a friend.
Meridian: As an Artist, what is your favorite part of creating tails?
Jesse: My favorite part of creating tails is seeing the final product on the mermaid or merman it was intended for.

There are many different types of mermaid tails, each with their own unique shape, color, and pattern. Some mermaid tails are long and slender, while others are short and stubby. Some have fins that resemble those of a fish, while others have fins that look more like leaves.
