Jake's 40-year career has largely been focused on negotiating M&A transactions and developing partnerships and strategic alliances in the telecom industry, serving in executive roles at Adelphia Communications, TelCove, Lumos Networks, Segra Communications and most recently DIF Fiber Investments.
Jake is a certified ribeye and barbecue judge, has assembled an extensive collection of cowboy boots, and lives west of Seattle with Betsy, his bride for the past 38 years. While growing up, Jake’s grandfather frequently told him “Do your giving while you’re living,” one reason why Jake is also passionate about contributing his expertise to numerous non-profit causes he supports.
