Early Life and Family
Born in 1976, Feshbach is the daughter of an influential family within Scientology. She is a devoted member of the organization, and her family, having given millions of dollars to the organization, are one of the most significant donors to Scientology. Her father was Joseph Feshbach, an investor in Palo Alto, California; he was profiled in a 1991 article about Scientology in Time magazine. Along with two brothers, Joseph Feshbach worked out of facilitites in California and Clearwater, Florida. Joseph Feshbach and these brothers are all adherents to Scientology. The three brothers have used Dianetics, a philosophy which serves as the base of Scientology methodology, to aid their trading techniques. Their firm, Feshbach Bros., utilized Dianetics teachings in managing the company's investment fund, Southgate Partners. In 2005, her aunt was the manager of a Florida-based Scientology center. Her uncle told the St. Petersburg Times newspaper in Florida that a Scientology program titled Super Powers had helped him improve his investing skills. The Feshbachs are noteworthy for gaining wealth through the process of short selling companies on the stock market. Joseph and his brother are twins; as of 1990, their older brother Kurt utilized the same approach to investing.
Feshbach received elementary education from The Delphian School, a private boarding school whose teaching techniques are based on the methodology of L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology. The Delphian School is located in Sheridan, Oregon, and delivers instruction to grades K-8. In 2005, Feshbach went by the name of Rodriguez, her second husband. In 2011, The New Yorker reported that Jessica Feshbach and Tommy Davis are married.

Famous quotes containing the words early, life and/or family:
“We can slide it
Rapidly backwards and forwards: we call this
Easing the spring. And rapidly backwards and forwards
The early bees are assaulting and fumbling the flowers:
They call it easing the Spring.”
—Henry Reed (1914–1986)
“I cannot and do not live in the world of discretion, not as a writer, anyway. I would prefer to, I assure you—it would make life easier. But discretion is, unfortunately, not for novelists.”
—Philip Roth (b. 1933)
“No wealth can buy the requisite leisure, freedom, and independence which are the capital in this profession. It comes only by the grace of God. It requires a direct dispensation from Heaven to become a walker. You must be born into the family of the Walkers. Ambulator nascitur, non fit.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
