Bodybuilding.com Employee Spotlight: Jesse Ellis

I love being active, doing anything outdoors, and spending time with my wife and family. My favorite sport is Ice Hockey. I have a degree in marketing from Boise State University and I have worked as a Bodybuilding.com Customer Service Rep for just over a year.

I have always played sports and been very active, even before I worked here. I grew up playing Ice Hockey and still try to play at least once a week.

However, I have become even more dedicated to fitness and living a healthy lifestyle since I am now surrounded by all of these great people with similar goals.

It is so awesome to work here! Everyone is so encouraging with your goals and is truly excited to see you succeed in whatever it is that you are doing.

It is just so motivating to see the people you work with getting in shape for a half marathon, or getting ready for a bodybuilding competition, or just losing a few inches off their waist.

It seems that nearly everyone is always working towards one goal or another.

I work with some of the greatest people that I have ever known. Bodybuilding.com is full of smart, hard working, and compassionate people. And most of all they are fun to be around both in and out of the work environment.

There have been several people that have inspired me to reach both my professional goals and fitness goals. I look at what our CEO, Ryan Deluca has been able to build from the ground up and it is just incredible. I aspire to have his level of motivation and drive and his love for reading!

As for fitness goals I was inspired by Mckyle Duncan's transformation two years ago. Mckyle did an amazing twelve week transformation and motivated me to try my own twelve week transformation, which I just finished this April.

I sure hope that I am able to inspire and motivate others. It would be so great if I can inspire others and be able to coach and motivate them like Mckyle did for me.

I think the bodybuilding lifestyle and the whole company culture definitely improves productivity. The employees are healthier and have less stress and are able to work harder.
