Jesse Highling - Advisor

Born and raised in Frederick County, Jesse’s passion for the outdoors and sustainable land practices has shaped his career from the very beginning. Starting in the agriculture industry, he gained hands-on experience in dairy and poultry farming, row crop production, nutrient management applications, and Non-GMO grain sales.

After transitioning into the construction field, Jesse excelled in site excavation and utilities, working on large-scale bioretention projects designed to address wastewater and storm water management. His contributions helped develop natural habitats, combining his interest in environmental stewardship with practical land-use solutions.

Now residing in Easton, Jesse took on a pivotal role in the launch of a startup hunting brand. His leadership in this venture included building strategic relationships with major outdoor brands and conservation organizations, positioning the brand as a respected player in the industry. Through his efforts, Jesse has become known as a connector within the outdoor and conservation communities, advocating for sustainable outdoor recreation and ethical land use.

As a lifelong outdoorsman and conservationist, Jesse’s mission is to inspire a love for nature while promoting responsible land stewardship. He is dedicated to helping his clients not only navigate the complexities of land ownership and investment but also understand the broader impact of their land-use decisions. Jesse’s deep roots in the mid-Atlantic outdoor community, coupled with his agriculture, construction and business development experience, make him a trusted guide for those seeking to align their land assets with sustainable practices and a passion for the outdoors.
