"My favorite story about Jake is from the first day we met. He was on campus for student orientation in the summer prior to his freshman year at Ohio University. In between learning about the campus and meeting some of his future classmates, Jake took the time to walk to the Convocation Center to introduce himself to the people who worked in the athletic department’s media office – that was me. Jake not only introduced himself, but he expressed his interest in working for the department and helping in any way he could to gain experience in the field."
