Jake was elected to the CAHA Board of Directors in 2018 as the South Carolina 3 Director serving the upstate area. He was re-elected to a second term in 2021. Jake served on the Board of Directors as the Secretary, was a member of the Executive Committee, the High School Committee and the Tournament Committee as an on-site Tournament Director in South Carolina.
Our deepest condolences go out to Jake's wife Kim, sons Austin and Logan and his family. Jake will be greatly missed by his friends and colleagues in CAHA.
