Jake was born in Indiana but the natural beauty of the Southern Utah landscape grabbed his heart. Jake has a charismatic personality. Growing up in a family of eight kids there was never a shortage of an audience to feed his extroverted side. In his younger years reading was his escape, then competitive sports became his sole focus. After school Jake moved to San Francisco where he discovered his passion for soccer.

Jake eventually returned to Utah which became the years of self discovery. “I found out what friendship really means and what it takes to maintain healthy relationships in my personal and professional life. I also experienced the flip side of the coin and learned what signs to watch for and what actions to take when there is someone in your life that doesn’t have the best intentions.”

A self described Jack of all trades, Jake has worked in every industry you can imagine and one thing remained constant throughout, his love for helping people smile and find enjoyment in their everyday lives making Forte Strong the perfect job.
