Jake attended Christopher Newport University, where he was a student-athlete studying mathematics. He began coaching youth soccer and then worked in Bankruptcy Law. Upon the law firm shutting down, Jake explored several fields before concluding that he preferred working with and helping children, which led him to Keswick.
"I chose Keswick because it's one thing to have a job working with children, but it's another to make a meaningful difference in their lives through the work we do. It gives me great pride knowing that I have the opportunity to make a real difference in the students' lives. I believe that, although they may be in a different capacity, the students I work with at Keswick can someday pay it forward."
