Jesse Ridgway Bio

Jesse Ridgway began his YouTube career in December 2006, steadily building his audience with original short films and sketches. His content later evolved into large-scale storytelling projects, most notably the Psycho Series, which blurred the line between fiction and reality for millions of viewers. Beyond YouTube, he has established himself as an entrepreneur, co-founding the social storytelling platform StoryFire, designed to give creators an alternative space for sharing their work.

In addition to his online projects, Ridgway is a fitness enthusiast, having completed the Insanity workout program multiple times. His creativity has also extended into trending online movements, including the hashtag #PsychoStreamRaid, which gained traction in 2015.

Born and raised in New Jersey, Ridgway graduated from Rowan University in 2014 with a degree in Radio/TV/Film. He has an older brother, Jeffrey Ridgway Jr., and his father, Jeffrey Sr., has frequently appeared in his videos. Ridgway’s personal life has also been of public interest—he was in a long-term relationship with singer Juliette Reilly from 2013 to 2018 and began dating Ashley May in 2019.
