Greg toured around the country with Dream Street on tours such as the Aaron Carter Winter Party US Tour 2002, Steve Madden Mall Tours, 2001-2002 Dream Street Tours, and numerous Radio Disney & Mall Tours.

He took home the Young Artist Award in both 2001 and 2002 which is given in LA each year. In addition, Jesse has been seen on television as a guest star on Law & Order, Rosie O'Donnell's Primetime Christmas Special and in her Big K-Back to School commercial. In 1998, at 11 years old, Jesse played the role of "Scrooge at 12" opposite Roger Daltrey's Scrooge in "A Christmas Carol" at Madison Square Garden. Jesse began his professional theatre career in 1997, playing Louis, son to Hayley Mills' Anna, in the Broadway National Touring Company of "The King And I."
Jesse was also, for 3 1/2 years, a member with four other boys, of the group Dream Street. Dream Street's debut album reached number 1 on the Billboard independent Album Charts and soared to platinum sales. Dream Streets songs have also appeared on the soundtracks for Pokemon 2000 and The Little Vampire. Previous to Dream Street, Jesse was a lead singer in the youth group Sugar Beats, formed by Sherry Kondor, the daughter of Carole King. Jesse has performed on four Sugar Beats CDs: How Sweet It Is (1998), Wildthing (1999) and Car Tunes (2000), all of which won music awards. In addition Jesse has two solos on the 2001 CD, A Sugarbeat's Christmas. (His solos are Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree and Little Saint Nick).
