Extended Bio
Jake grew up in a small town in the Piney Woods of East Texas called Shelbyville. After graduating from high school, Jake received his undergraduate degree at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. While attending A&M, he was involved in the school’s student government association and its freshman orientation program, Fish Camp. Jake tries his best to not become too emotionally invested in Aggie Football, as it has been the cause of many heartbreaks, but, in truth, he is a die-hard Aggie. After graduating from A&M, he received his law degree at Baylor University. At Baylor, Jake received extensive training in litigation. He was a member of the school’s Moot Court team and completed Practice Court, Baylor’s rigorous trial advocacy course.
Jake and his wife, Abby, now proudly call Austin home. In his spare time, he enjoys paddle boarding on Town Lake, attempting to play golf, learning how to play the guitar, and stressfully watching the Aggies play.
