Davis-Knight, J.

Jesse Davis-Knight is a security contractor employed as a Specialist in Sigma Security Group. Born to a middle-class family in Australia, Davis-Knight (‘Two-Dads’ by his adolescent friends) showed an interest in joining the Australian Defence Force from a young age, with a focus on combat aviation. Growing up, Davis-Knight often played recreational and semi-competitive paintball, a sport he found helped hone his ‘tactical abilities’. Davis-Knight was also a member of a nearby Australian Air Force Cadet squadron, through which he earned his private pilot’s license.

This carried into his service with the Royal Australian Air Force, where he was disqualified from being a combat pilot due to not possessing the requisite educational background. However, Davis-Knight shifted into a more hands-on capability, enlisting as a combat engineer with No. 65 Squadron, an airfield engineering and explosive ordnance disposal unit. Davis-Knight served with this squadron for seven years, attaining the rank of corporal, before leaving the RAAF and moving into the private sector as a consultant for both government and non-government entities with regards to mine clearance and explosive ordnance handling.

Davis-Knight joined Sigma after protracted conversations with another contractor that he had met and befriended after crossing paths with during operations in North Africa. His expertise in combat engineering and explosive ordnance disposal has already proved fruitful for Sigma during Davis-Knight's short career with the group.

During his service, Davis-Knight quickly developed as an adept team leader, and is routinely seen acting as either a team leader for one of the subordinate "Echo" combat teams, an assistant team leader within the Command element "Echo One", or even as the field commander of a given mission as "Echo Actual".
