Early Life:

Jessie Lauren Graff was born on the 12th of January, 1984 in  New York, New York, United States. Her parents are Ginny MacColl and Tom Graff. She had a passion for gymnastics and circus arts since childhood. She started taking circus classes at the age of 6 and learned how to catch other performers on the trapeze by age 12. At age 9, she began doing competitive gymnastics for six years as a member of the Frederick Gymnastics Club.

In 2002, she graduated from Urbana High School as a Track Team Leader, honor roll student, and member of the National Honor Society. She was also a pole vaulter who set records in high school. She majored in aerospace engineering at Georgia Tech and theatre at the University of Nebraska. She graduated from the latter in 2007. She also continued to excel in pole vaulting in college, setting her personal bests in 2004.

Obstacle Course & American Ninja Warrior:

Jessie’s first taste in an obstacle course came in the 2008 show,  Wipeout. While she failed at the penultimate challenge, she continued the momentum and made an appearance in the fifth season of American Ninja Warrior and became the first woman to qualify to compete in a City Finals course. After an injured knee kept her out of season 6, Jessie appeared in Season 7 of American Ninja Warrior but could not make it up the Warped Wall at Stage One in Las Vegas. In the 8th season of the show, Graff became the first woman in American Ninja Warrior history to make it up the new 14 1/2-foot Warped Wall.

She also became the first woman to complete Stage 2 in the USA vs. The World competition in season 9. She represented the United States in Sasuke 34, where she became the first woman worldwide to finish Stage 2 of the Sasuke/Ninja Warrior franchise. She missed season 13 due to injuries that required multiple surgeries, but she returned to the show in season 14 in 2022. She failed on a balance obstacle for the first time in her career, but she still impressed the fans and hosts with her strength and spirit. She returned to Season 14 in Episode 2, but she did not make it to the Semi-Finals after falling on the Serpent obstacle. She was surprised by her first balance fail in seven seasons.

Treatment and Titan Games:

In November 2019, Jessie was admitted to the Orthohealing Center in Los Angeles. She was scheduled to have her marrow extracted from her hip bone to use as part of stem cell treatment on her creaky shoulders and neck. As she lay on the table, Jessie got the call from the producers of The Titan Games to appear on the show. She was one of the elite Titans selected by show host Dwane Johnson to defend Mount Olympus, the final obstacle course. And even though Jessie was feeling the wear and tear of her years of stunt work, she did not want to pass up on the opportunity. Talking about her decision, Jessie revealed,

“I went into [‘The Titan Games’] knowing I am way out of my league and the expectations are high,” Graff said. “But I always preach to little girls, ‘Don’t be afraid to do something because you’re not going to be good at it. Go out of your comfort zone. Try new things. Fall on your face if you have to, because that’s how you’re going to learn and grow the most. I guess I’m taking my own advice.”

Jesse competed in Season 2 of The Titan Games, which aired in 2020. She faced Kelly Valdez, a firefighter and paramedic, on Mount Olympus in the first episode of the West Region. She lost to Valdez after struggling with the Iron Ascent and the Titan Tomb.

She had a chance to redeem herself in the West Regional finals, where she faced Valdez again on Hammer Down, a challenge that involved swinging a sledgehammer to knock down three poles. She won that challenge and advanced to Resistance, where she had to pull a metal bar away from her opponent. She almost forced a sudden death round, but Valdez managed to pull the bar across the finish line and eliminate Graff from the competition.
