This is the journal of a professional chancer.
Jesse Collins is a lifelong dilettante with a focus spanning theatre, television and the web. He is a multi-faceted storyteller specializing in dramatic narrative and creative direction.
As a marketing professional, he delivers both digital and theatrical experiences. Serving as the Artistic Director at the Orillia Opera House for the past decade, he has directed dozens of sold-out comedies.
For television, he garnered a Best Direction Daytime EMMY Award nomination for Zoboofamoo on PBS. For many years, he has been one of Toronto’s busiest voice-over artists, voicing hundreds of ads including dozens for ten years as the voice of a major national bank. For nearly four decades, he has owned and operated Moxy Productions Incorporated in Toronto, Canada.
He collects old boats and outboards. If you’re selling, he’s buying.
