Jesse Russo

Sales-driven insurance professional with a career built on trust, hands-on problem-solving, and follow-through. Started as a traveling welder, earning a reputation for reliability and craftsmanship on job sites nationwide, then moved into project management, where technical skill turned into budget ownership, vendor coordination, and direct client relationships. That foundation now powers a growing career in life insurance sales at Globe Life, where the same work ethic and people-first approach translate into building lasting client trust.

A steady track record of learning fast, adapting to new industries, and getting the job done right.
