About Jake

Jake grew up in Bozeman, Montana. As a Junior, he trained with the Bridger Ski Foundation and qualified for Junior Nationals skiing as a member of the Intermountain Junior National Team. Jake then moved to Duluth, MN to attend the College of St. Scholastica and compete on their Saints Nordic Ski Team during all four years of college. Jake was named Team Captain his Junior and Senior years. He graduated with a BS in Exercise Physiology.
