ABOUT JAKE

ONE THING I'VE LEARNED ?

As it pertains to baking bread, treat time and temperature as ingredients. It makes baking bread much more consistent!

“Take care of your future self!” This phrase has significantly improved the decisions I’ve made in many parts of my life.

East of Eden has been one of my favorite books in recent years, “thou mayest”!

Dead Poets Society really gets me jazzed!

Miles Davis’ album Kind of Blue has been on my regular rotation for 5 years!

SOMEONE I ADMINRE ?

The longer we are married, the more I admire my wife, Amanda. She has the ability to humbly receive feedback better than anyone I know. She is a passionate leader who cares deeply about justice. She is a compassionate parent. She is a fierce protector. She is a good neighbor. I really like being on her team!

SOMETHING I'M PASSIONATE ABOUT ?

Learning new things! I’m a bit of a serial hobbyist and a podcast nerd.

SOMETHING MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ?

I’ve played wheelchair basketball since I was in high school! I was diagnosed with a disease in my back that prevented me from participating in able-bodied sports. I got to play for the University of Missouri on scholarship, and currently play for a recreational team in Memphis!
