Personal Information

Jesse Obrand was born in Laguna Beach, California. In 1987, Jesse and his family moved to Telluride, Colorado. While in Telluride, Jesse excelled at basketball and soccer, and in his junior year of high school, was a 1st Team All State performer in both sports. Although Jesse loved living in the mountains, he longed to return to the beach and compete against better competition, on California’s bigger stage. After returning to Laguna Beach for his senior year, Jesse helped lead the 1999 LBHS basketball team to their first league championship in over 36 years and a #1 CIF playoff ranking.

After graduating from LBHS, Jesse went on to play Division 1 basketball at UC Irvine, where he was a member of UC Irvine’s 2002 Big West Conference Regular Season Championship team. While playing at UC Irvine, Jesse also received a Big West Conference Scholar/Athlete award for outstanding academic achievement during the basketball season.

Jesse surfs and continues to play basketball in his free time. In addition, Jesse also volunteers with the LBHS boy’s basketball team, coaching and teaching skill development.

Education

Jesse received his B.A. in History from the University of California at Irvine. After graduating from UC Irvine, Jesse moved to Monterey, California and attended the Monterey College of Law and received his Juris Doctorate degree in 2009. At MCL, Jesse was one of the top students in his class and was a Heisler Moot Court Finalist, where he zealously argued free speech rights on behalf of various broadcast stations, in front of a distinguished panel of appellate court justices. As a result of Jesse’s advanced achievement in oral advocacy, he was inducted into the Heisler Society.
