Jake.

Previous industry/work background: Customer Service, Cashier, Medical, Warehouse Labor.

Why they started: I needed to grow in order to reach my goals before I turn 30, and still do. When I found out that our CEO and my hiring managers were both younger than me by 2+ years, I knew that I was in the correct place for that growth to occur.

How they’ve grown: I now prefer to endure momentary discomfort or confrontation in order to excel whereas only 2 months ago I was still surrendering my confidence to a defeatist mentality instead of taking what control I can take and showing up for myself, especially when I'm by myself.

What they are enjoying the most at the company: I love the fact that no one can ever know or learn enough and that this fact is understood without exception throughout our company, regardless of position, office location, tenure with the company, I've never been told "There's nothing I can learn from you".

Goals moving forward: My goals are to continue to learn how to manage my time, money, and emotions more efficiently so that I can manage them for myself as well as anyone who works for and with me moving forward.

Fun fact: I have performed at both Carnegie Hall in NYC and The Whisky A Go-Go in Hollywood.

Hobbies: Reading; listening to keynote/motivational speakers

Interests: Mythology, Horticulture, Comics, Movies/Theater

Passion: Music in general, specifically percussion and vocal music
