I write to see the world the way I want it to be… kind, inspiring but genuine… and to give a voice to the emotions and thoughts I experience. Wow, that’s sounds stuffy and impersonal. So let’s just say my name is Jake and I live in North Carolina. I spend my days in a job I absolutely love… driving a shuttle for an organic farm offering programs for recovery from mental illness. In my spare time, I enjoy meditating and hiking, either together or separately, and hanging out with friends and family around Chapel Hill.
