This picture was taken during Jessie's high school commencement exercise. Yes, he used to possess an average-sized body. He was not very well-built then. This was owing to the fact that he contracted typhoid fever some time in college. The illness left him thin as he lost a lot of weight. The illness was so bad that it crossed his mind that he would pass on at an early age. But somehow, GOD had other plans for Jessie. GOD never wanted him to die at a young age. What was initially a dreadful tragedy turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The weight decline, instead of dampening Jessie's spirit, motivated Jessie to regain back his strength. With sheer force of will and determination to gain his once athletic body and upon the advice of his then college coach, Jessie joined a gym. He began lifting weights, started to join bodybuilding competition, and the rest, they say, is history.
