Jake began his journey at Ottawa University, where he played football and started on a degree path for business administration. After taking an accounting class, his professor spotted his talent for numbers and encouraged him to dive deeper, solidifying his interest in accounting and switching his major. He later earned his MBA from Avila University and completed a financial analyst internship. Joining Fortiviti was an exciting step for him, as it gave him the chance to help small businesses and learn about different industries.

Outside of work, Jake is involved with local high school sports, serving as an assistant football coach and refereeing basketball.

Jake has a Fiancée and an infant a son. He’s diving into suburban-dad life with hobbies like perfecting his lawn, getting into golf, and grilling on his Traeger. He’s a big football fan, participating in fantasy leagues, and at home, he enjoys hanging out with his two dogs—Sammy, a frisbee-obsessed German Shepherd, and Leo, a loving German Shepherd.
