“Jake is a leader in the most unique way. He’s a boss man, but he’s easily reached! A lot of managers take days to reply to you, while Jake will do it right away. The second you meet him you feel like you have known him your whole life. He will always be your shoulder to cry on, your hug when you need one, your go to guy for dad jokes, and a list of many other wonderful attributes! I aspire to be a leader like Jake in the future 👏”
