Jess joined the AwardWallet team in early 2016 as a member of the writing team. Hailing from New Zealand, Jess discovered points and miles while traveling full-time with his wife and son, utilizing rewards to reduce travel costs and relying on credit card perks to make travel more comfortable.
His extensive knowledge of frequent flyer programs was acquired through hands-on experience, research, and many hours behind the keyboard helping design and implement AwardWallet’s backend tools and compliance systems.
When not immersed in his work at AwardWallet, you can find Jess running trails, cooking up a storm, wakeboarding, and traveling with his family. Jess is currently based in the idyllic Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia.
