Jesus grew up in a small migrant farm working town. As the son of Mexican American migrant farm workers and the tenth child in a family of eleven, Jesus has a long-standing interest in serving underprivileged and disadvantaged populations. He went to college at Central Washington University where he studied Biology, Chemistry and Anthropology. Underserved volunteering opportunities and research led him to medical school at Dartmouth where he became involved in migrant health projects and the office of Diversity and Inclusion as Class representative and Diversity Fellow. He graduated with Dartmouth's Diversity Visionary Leadership Award.

He chose family medicine with hopes to influence individual health through both support of the family and changes in policy. His passion is to increase access to affordable services that are appropriate and effective to especially marginalized populations in a way that helps them navigate and eliminate poverty from their lives. Jesus' medical interests include addiction, obstetrics, transgender care, point-of-care ultrasound, therapy, and healthcare leadership. He chose Sea Mar because of its commitment to breaking physical and cultural barriers to care for the people in the community and for the institution's willingness to be innovative for the goal of improving the delivery of healthcare to the public.

In his free time he enjoys spending time with family, in the outdoors, playing music on his guitar, and cooking his mother's traditional cuisine.
