Growing up in the Dayton-area, Jake attended eight schools over a period of 12 years including St. Rita's and Fairmont High School. While attending Bowling Green State University, he received a full scholarship to study in Erlangen, Germany. The CJ German teacher is presently studying engineering at the University of Dayton.
