At 18 years of age Jake has been playing football for quite a time exhibited by winning the 1988 Most Consistent Player for the Under 16 Laharum team and repeating this feat for the same team in 2005!  An avid Geelong supporter, Jake names Jimmy Bartels as his favourite player and hopes to embark on a tertiary career after completing VCE this year.
