Jacob (Jake) was born and raised right here in Chula Vista just a couple miles away from the High Tech Chula Vista campus! He graduated from Otay Ranch High School down the road. He received a BA in Physical Education from Dominguez Hills in the South-bay of Los Angeles. With a degree in hand, he has been a Track and Field coach at his alma mater Otay Ranch for a couple seasons. During the summers before and after COVID he has worked for an International Exchange program for high school students in New York City. Now, after a year of working as an Academic Coach in 8th grade he is over the moon about the opportunity to begin his teaching career! He has always been passionate about helping and teaching others since an early age. He tries to push himself and others to learn at least one new thing every single day. Other passions of his include but are not limited to: loving his dogs, spending time with family, learning the intricacies of every sport (GO PADRES!), and having opportunities to travel all over the world.
