Mr. Jesse Lugo is a member and Chief Executive Officer of Essential Services LLC. Mr. Lugo is dedicated to advancing the quality of services that enrich the lives and build future support platforms for those individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities. He is committed to the values of community inclusion, self direction, quality services, and positive supports for the customers of Essential Services LLC. He believes that an exceptional leader is one that leads by example, and in order for staff members to make the best decisions for the customer, agency, and community, he will provide an example of leadership and caring for others to follow. His interest in providing services to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities started in 2001, when his brother was diagnosed with autism. Mr. Lugo watched his brother continually struggle with daily tasks at home and in the community. He also saw how difficult it was for his mother to balance her own life and keep up with day to day shopping, cooking, medical appointments and the overall quality of life she was trying very hard to provide for herself and her children. It was at this point, is when Mr. Lugo, decided that he wanted to help others find a way to sustain themselves and learn life skills in order to become self-sufficient, within the community.
