Jake is a college graduate from High Point University in NC with a degree in Entrepreneurship. After his graduation he spent the next 2 years in Alaska as a guide fishing the remote rivers and streams of Sitka AK. When he wasn’t guiding clients to the Alaska Grand slam (all 5 species of Pacific salmon) you could find him testing his skills against King salmon and chum salmon on Saw mill creek with his 8wt. When the weather turned for the worst you could find him on the back of a dog sled mushing dogs in Two Rivers AK. Before he left the east coast headed for Alaska he has spent his whole life roaming the Chesapeake Bay where he called home, doing everything from commercial fishing for stripers, harvesting Chesapeake Bay Blue Crabs and throwing an 8wt for stripers around the jetties and rock plies that make up the bay with his father. Aside from working full time at TCO Jake also guides the local rivers throughout PA
