Then there is Jesse's also-homeschooled wife Patricia and their three children: Sarah (born in '00), David (born in '03) and Leah (born in '04). Jesse is now an Assistant Professor at Old Dominion University, Jacob is programming for Google in Seattle Washington, Maya is maried and teaching online courses for PA Homeschoolers, and Hannah is attending college at Brandeis University.
