Get To Know: Jake
I was born on a snowy December day in downtown Saint Paul at United Hospital. Like many, moving has been a theme throughout my life. I started in Andover, then New Brighton, then White Bear Lake, then Charlotte, NC, then Chicago, IL, then back to Charlotte, NC, then Indianapolis, IN for high school. In high school I spent most of my free time playing sports football, basketball, wrestling, track and field especially. Upon graduation I moved back to frigid Minnesota to attended the University of Saint Thomas in Saint Paul where I studied Entrepreneurship. Since graduation I’ve lived in Maplewood, Little Canada, Shoreview, Vadnais Heights and most recently Inver Grove Heights! Its safe to say I’ve gotten used to decorating new spaces! I have three wonderful children Leo born 2013, Max born 2015 and Ike born 2017. In my free time I still enjoy sports of all kinds including golf, hunting/fishing, snow skiing and volleyball. My favorite time of the year is fall and love to cook. BBQ ribs, homemade Neapolitan pizza and a delicious smash burger are some of the family favorites. I’m looking forward to getting married October 10th, 2026!
