The man you see before you is Jake. No, he does not work for statefarm, but he does use their insurance. Jake was raised in the middle of Indiana (the flat lands) then moved to Kentucky and attended Kentucky Christian University. He is married to a wonderful woman named Lela. They have two beautiful daughters and a handsome son. Jake enjoys spending his time outdoors; hunting, fishing or taking photos. His favorite quote comes from the brilliant mind of Joe Dirt, "Lifes a garden, Dig it."
