Jesse met his wife Dina in April 1994, both having careers in law enforcement at the time. They were married June 15, 1995, in Beaufort, South Carolina; they have three sons (Seth, Jesse IV and Brandon), a daughter-inlaw (Maci) and 2 grandchildren (Brayton and Kynlee). Jesse and Dina have lived on Lake Murray for 25 years and plan to retire to Beaufort, SC. Jesse enjoys off-shore fishing, coaching little league baseball for his sons and grandson, and spending as much time as possible with his family. Cpl. Reynolds has been an asset to the South Carolina Highway Patrol— specifically to Troop 2 Post C—for over 32 years. As a young man, I would see Cpl. Reynolds with cars stopped in Saluda and what always stood out was the clean car, neat uniform, and the professional and fair manner in which he treated those he came in contact with. He is well-liked in the community. Hardly a day goes by that someone from the community doesn’t ask, “Where’s Jesse at?” Cpl. Reynolds makes family a priority and genuinely cares for his coworkers which makes him an effec ve and reliable leader. The dedica on, determina on, and sacrifice displayed by Jesse giving 32 years of service says a lot about the kind of person he is. We should all strive to display these same quali es in our daily du es. I am proud to work alongside Cpl. Reynolds. F/Sgt. Q. D. Hallman Corporal J.G. Reynolds III is the kind of leader that has no problem taking charge when in command of any assignment. He confidently makes decisions even in the absence of adequate orders or informa on. As a result, he elicits needed informa on, monitors the results, and changes course if the situa on deems it to be necessary. He consistently does what is right and his team finds him to be very approachable. His principles of management and leadership are simple; carry out your du es with integrity. He brings a vast amount of knowledge and experience to Saluda, Edgefield and McCormick and shares his knowledge while mentoring his team. CPT M. C. Carson Sr., MCJ
