Born on May 23, 1995, Jake grew up in Farmington, CT. Jake's first experience behind the camera was with a friend from his elementary school. Together they would make short films, of various plot lines, in their backyards. From there, Jake began delving deeper into the craft. Soon he had a camera of his own. When Jake was around thirteen he became a production assistant on his first few micro budget films. As a senior at Farmington High School, he has plans for a senior independent study in which he will make his own movie with his close friend. He hopes to further his film career by majoring in film production while attending college.
