Hi, I’m Jake
I’m a redeemed addict turned
founder, educator, and servant leader
About
Since achieving sobriety after 14 years of severe drug addiction and alcoholism—a journey that integrated faith, music, and personal transformation—I've been blessed to flourish as a father, serial entrepreneur, educator, and servant leader.
I currently serve as Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Practicing Musician, which provides equitable access to world-class music education, Founding Chairman of the Board for Worshiping Musician (a worship music education organization serving churches and Christian homeschoolers), and Founding Board Member of Classical Transcription Project. I'm also a board member for several for-profit ventures, an author, a guest lecturer, and a keynote speaker.
My work is rooted in the belief that every person has inherent dignity and worth, and that we're called to steward our gifts in service to others. I love connecting with people and sharing my story to inspire the next generation.
Learn my faith-based principles for relinquishing addiction or advanced musicianship.
