Hi, hello, hi. I’m Jake.

I make work that makes headlines.
And wins international acclaim.
Also, stuff that doesn’t.
I’ve written raps for Bleacher Report,
Hacked doorbell cameras for Reebok,
And forced Allstate to commit a felony.
I’m at home rebranding $4B startups,
Managing multi-million dollar TV spots,
And stealing the Super Bowl on a dime.
My work appears atop your Reddit feed,
On discovery documents in fraud court,
And in your ears while waiting on-hold.
I tend to fully committ to projects I’m on,
Search for humanity first and foremost,
Stupidity, second and secondmost,
And what’s expected, never at all.
There’s probably more to say,
But if we’re being honest,
No one wants a writer,
Who never shuts up.

CLIENT: Personal 

HOW I GOT MY START: In 2012, I went 90 days without technology. No cell phone. No email. No internet. Aside from being the most blissful three months of my life, it also ended up being a great career move. My story—and the incredibly cringe-worthy video I made about the experience—got picked up by the popular press and landed me my first job in advertising.



Recognition: The video racked up 5M views with coverage from The Today Show, GMA, USA Today, CNN, Yahoo!, and 20+ other press outlets. Then Sony Screen Gems called and asked me to sell them the rights to, and write a screenplay treatment about my story. Which I did—and which of course—is still sitting on a shelf somewhere collecting dust to this day.
