His first work experience was in campaign communications, overseeing communications for a U.S. Congressional campaign that won by over 20 percentage points.
In search of the sun, Jake attended law school at Arizona State University’s Sandra Day O’Connor School of Law, where he received his law degree. He furthered his commitment to personal injury law by clerking for the Shapiro Law Team throughout his law school tenure.
