Experience & contact

“

I had the opportunity to hire and manage Jake, and one of his biggest strengths was his ability to take ownership of difficult problems and find creative ways through them. At one point, we were dealing with a public relations challenge that had damaged trust in the community. Jake helped change that by getting out into the DFW community, building relationships with key organizations and local leaders, and creating opportunities for people to reconnect with what we were doing. That work led to new partnerships, stronger community support, and even a brunch with the mayor... That combination made him especially effective in situations where there was no established playbook and the work required both good judgment and strong execution.

“

His strategy was to shut off all paid advertising, build systems to track inbound leads and conversion expenses, and then strategically and scientifically ease the spending back in. Within his first 90 days, we knew where our leads were coming from, which channels worked best for us, focused our brand message, and we finally knew our conversion costs... Anyone who has the fortune to work with Jake will not be disappointed.

“

Jake is creative, adaptable, and an excellent communicator with strong interpersonal skills. He consistently embraced new challenges, performed exceptionally well under time pressure, and delivered thoughtful, high-quality work without losing sight of the larger objective... I recommend Jake without hesitation to any organization looking for a talented marketing professional, a collaborative teammate, and, most importantly, an outstanding human being.

Jake played a key role in making our Microsoft partnership a strong pillar of our marketing strategy. He turned a broad portfolio of Microsoft capabilities into focused campaigns, clear messaging, and a differentiated market position. What stood out was his ability to leverage Microsoft’s credibility while keeping our own expertise at the center. His work strengthened our market presence and gave our sales team a sharper, more compelling story for customers.

I worked with Jake when he led our digital marketing, and he was one of the steadiest people I have partnered with on cross-functional work. One of his greatest strengths is bringing clarity and momentum to complex projects... He was just as comfortable talking brand and messaging as he was working through the details of execution... Any organization looking for a thoughtful marketing leader who can connect brand strategy with hands-on digital execution would be lucky to have him.

Jake has a rare mix of creativity and impeccable marketing knowledge. He created fantastic content that helped drive occupancy, but he also understood the bigger picture. We benefited from his understanding of brand significance, the marketing imperative of "heads in beds," and what it took to win in a competitive market... I could not give him a higher recommendation.

“

Working with Jake was a truly positive experience. His creativity and passion for marketing are evident in everything he does, and he consistently approaches challenges with fresh ideas and a solutions-oriented mindset. Beyond his professional abilities, Jake is a collaborative, reliable colleague who contributes to a strong team culture. I have no doubt that he will bring the same energy, dedication, and creativity to any role he takes on and be a valuable asset wherever he goes.

Jake was excellent with marketing ideas and creative designs. He was able to add all the backend trackers to know if the ads are working or not and overall just a really nice person to work with. I highly recommend working with Jake for anything with marketing your business.
