In 2012 Jesse transitioned into the business world, partnering with his two brothers to grow their prior business, Sagacious Consultants, to acquisition by Accenture, but he never stopped flying… Then as an aircraft owner, he guided those around him through the acquisition and transition into high-performance aircraft. That experience led Jesse into the brokerage and acquisition of owner-flown piston & turbine aircraft. His tenure of nearly five years at the world's largest brokerage, Aerista, afforded him a wealth of experience and professional growth, where he led 200+ transactions around the globe. That was Jesse's springboard for something bigger...

In 2023, Jesse founded Mason Amelia — and they took the market by storm. Built to reimagine how high-end, owner-flown aircraft should be marketed and sold, Mason Amelia has quickly become the fastest-growing aircraft brokerage in the country. If your feed has become inundated with aircraft sales videos that have over the top cinematography and gnarly music... yeah sorry, MA started that trend and takes full responsibility! But, it is really about telling the "story" of each aircraft. Their YouTube channel, Looking for Higher, has become a go-to resource for buyers, sellers, and dreamers alike — helping raise the bar (and the production value) for aircraft sales marketing everywhere.
