In high school, he attended LaSalle Institute, where he competed on the football and track and field teams. While at Castelton, Jake was a defensive back on the football team. He was first introduced to the sport of skeleton, when he began in a junior bobsled program in 2002 at age 10. He tried skeleton for the first time at age 16. Jake slid on and off while in high school and college, completing his degree requirements a semester early in order to commit full-time to skeleton in January 2013.
