Jake dwells in Springfield, MA. His love for wildlife has led to a bachelor's degree in zoology from Union University. Jake was involved in two research projects at Union: one which focused on alligators and another on ichneumonid wasps. The latter project involved discovering new species of wasps in the Great Smoky Mountains and the findings are published in the Entomological Society of America. Jake taught science and history at Pioneer Valley Christian Academy in Springfield, and he is currently pursuing a career in conservation with the state of Connecticut. Jake has been fascinated by the topic of creation and evolution since a young age. He speaks, writes, and teaches about creationism in Springfield MA, where he hosted the city's first ever creation conference.
