Jake is a certified ribeye and barbecue judge, has assembled an extensive collection of cowboy boots, and lives west of Seattle with Betsy, his bride for the past 38 years. While growing up, Jake’s grandfather frequently told him “Do your giving while you’re living,” one reason why Jake is also passionate about contributing his expertise to numerous non-profit causes he supports.
