Hi! I’m Jake.
My journey into video production and brand storytelling began in the small town of Union City, Pennsylvania, a community of just 3,000 people. From a young age, I was immersed in creativity, whether it was through skateboarding, basketball, football, or my first ventures into corporate video production. My passion for visuals and storytelling was clear early on, setting the foundation for what would later become a career in corporate storytelling.
After high school, I attended Penn State University, where I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. My studies expanded my perspective beyond my small-town roots and helped me realize the power of storytelling to shape experiences and drive connections. Following graduation, I moved to Santa Barbara, California, where I started my career at Enterprise Rent-A-Car, sharing a home with fellow creatives. I spent my days honing skills in business and communication, and my weekends exploring California’s beaches and local food scene.
In 2014, I took a leap of faith, relocating to Austin, Texas, with the goal of joining a leading tech company in a B2B sales position. I secured a role with Oracle, immersing myself in Austin’s dynamic culture, from its live music scene to the iconic food trucks and the vibrant pulse of 6th Street. Yet, my drive to create led me to a deeper purpose in visual storytelling and brand video production.
In 2017, I moved to Los Angeles to explore acting while continuing my work at Oracle, but I soon realized that my true path lay in content creation. I returned to Austin in 2018 and took the plunge into creating video content for brands, influencers, and corporations.
