jake’s a native and grew up helping his family out in their shop (at least when he wasn’t out goofing around with jc) where they make handmade leather goods which his dad passed to him a few years ago. he’s always been full of energy, loves working with his hands, playing sports and generally is just a fun-loving mischievous kind of guy who has a tendency to act before he thinks. he has a tendency to act before he can think things through which has definitely gotten him into some trouble when he was younger, and still causes some brainfarts and hiccups in his life now that he’s older and not necessarily that much wiser. jake's outgoing and likes to be around people but is easily bored so he's always looking for something to do. he’s very much the guy who can be extremely interested in something one week, suddenly lose interest without rhyme or reason and forget all about it in a couple of days. he’s also a giant flirt which, combined with his hot and cold tendencies, has resulted in few lasting relationships but he’s very loyal to his friends and family.
