ABOUT
I love to bring out characters' voices and tell their stories in exciting ways! That's where my journey started, by impersonating my favorite movie characters at five years old. Eventually, I took acting classes and performed on stage in classics like Beauty and the Beast and Cyrano de Bergerac. I acted with friends, making home movies and reading Shakespeare together in the living room. I found a special joy though, in reading to children (and my older sister, who regularly demands I read to her at family gatherings).

I narrated my first audiobook, Awake, in May 2020, and I've never looked back, becoming a registered member of SAG-AFTRA in April 2023.

I enjoy reading and narrating fantasy, sci-fi, mysteries, historical, and general fiction, as well as non-fiction subjects like science, investigative journalism, and history.

When not reading to other folks, I can usually be found reading for myself, relaxing with my wife and our cats, cheering for my Diamondbacks, or binging a new show. I even go outside sometimes, where I can usually be found hiking a nearby mountain, traipsing across the Pacific islands, or trying to stay in shape.

 As an author, I've been thrilled with Jake's skill in bringing my stories to life! He effortlessly taps into my character's voices and the underlying subtext of each scene, adapting his performance to enhance their depth and impact. The way he conveys explicit and subdued emotions and humor is remarkable - far beyond any other narrators I've worked with. He gives motion to scenes and interactions, going beyond mere narration, and delivers a captivating performance that my readers love! Working with Jake has been an absolute pleasure. I wholeheartedly recommend him to any author seeking to have their work captured in the audiobook format.

 Jake's narrating voice is easy, breezy listening, which makes for a fantastic audiobook experience. But it's the voice he gives to the characters that make him really shine. His timing is effortless. A true professional!
