The firstborn of a full-time pastor, Jake’s whole life has been spent in ministry. Having served in several churches in a variety of capacities, he has additionally engaged in multiple leadership opportunities. Through being inundated in the world of the church, Jake has gained a personal and ever-expanding understanding of the way God works through His people.
Earning his undergraduate degree at Wheaton College, Jake anxiously awaited a call to full-time ministry like many of his family members. However, when the Lord spoke through Daniel 12, Jake was called to a deeper state of faith and to look beyond his preconceived expectations. Through this, God eventually directed Jake to Shepherd Staff, wherein the union of his background in ministry and vocational interest in consulting and management took place. Having previously used his experiences with Christian organizations, Jake continually strives to learn more about how we as God’s children can live out the faith well.
Jake is currently a consultant for Shepherd Staff, living in Wheaton, IL. He is a diehard Chicago Blackhawks fan, consistently pursues art that speaks truth, and enjoys the people with which he has the blessing of sharing life with.
