What I am happiest doing when I’m not at the office: Jake really enjoys pickleball, tennis, and golf. As the weather gets colder, you can find him nestled into his favorite chair, reading a book in front of the fire.  In the summer, he spends his time on the lake, in a surf boat with family and friends.
