 They wrote an article about Jess! (too bad they spelled his name wrong!)
Meet Dr. Jewett

Dr. Jesse Jewett, Emergency Physician from the University of Utah, is originally from Orem, UT. He did his undergraduate work at Utah Sate University in Public Health Industrial Hygiene with a minor in chemistry. While at USU Jess met his wife, Stacie Hayes. Following his time at USU Jess spent a few years in Salt Lake working as a phlebotomist and developing a webpage for OSHA. He then began medical school at the American University of the Caribbean. He and Stacie were married during his first year of medical school. Jess then started his residency with an intern year in surgery at Saint Joseph's Hospital in Denver Colorado. He and Stacie then moved to Jackson, Mississippi so Jess could finish his residency in emergency medicine at the University of Mississippi.
The Jewett's have returned to Cache Valley and now live in Providence with their dog and they are expecting their first child. Jess loves the outdoors, he enjoys hiking, camping, wakeboarding, waterskiing, and most of all, snowboarding. He's recently picked up fly fishing and loves all the local rivers to choose from for fishing. He enjoys all sports, especially soccer and exercise. Although he claims to not be competitive, he enjoys triathlons. Jess says he's excited to be back in Cache Valley working and being near his family
