As a child he spent his time playing baseball and learning to hunt from his father. Jake loved duck hunting and deer hunting. Goose hunting was his favorite, and many memories were made, even a broken arm his first time out. While attending Pequot Lakes High School, he participated in baseball and loved it until he graduated in 2003.
