Jake is a Minnesota native who moved to Oregon in 2013. Growing up on a farm in rural northern Minnesota, he spent his youth raising chickens, rabbits, dogs, and the occasional goose and miniature horse. He has a passion for the care and well-being of all creatures and animals, especially those that have been lucky enough to find a forever home. When not at work, Jake is an avid urban farmer himself who enjoys spending time with his goats, chickens, cats, dogs, and ever fluctuating number of rabbits. He's deeply passionate about ensuing that all critters under his care have a happy and fulfilling life. Jake is currently studying pre-veterinary medicine, with the hope of being accepted into a doctoral program in veterinary medicine, to be able to continue serving animals and the people who love them.
