Jake has been hooked on carpentry since age sixteen. Whether he’s officially on the job or working for family or friends, he’s been remodeling homes, building pool houses and outdoor kitchens, or gutting and flipping houses for many years. Jake takes pride in learning something new every day.

When he hangs up his tools for the evening, he enjoys hunting, fishing, cooking, and spending time with his wife Amy and their daughter Delaney. Jake loves to take his family on adventures to far-flung destinations, especially when history or the beach are involved. One of his all-time favorite trips was to Yucatàn to visit the Mayan temples.
