Jake began his career in the industry when he was 18 years old and still in high school. He worked for a small home improvement company for two years learning to roof houses, install siding, gutters, windows, and doors. He also learned hands on interior remodeling.

His next move was to a family owned exterior distributor with five locations in several Midwest states. He began delivering exterior products and running a seamless gutter machine on job sites for contractors. He was promoted to Warehouse Manager, and then to Office Manager and Inside Sales. Two years later he was promoted to Outside Sales, where he worked directly with contractors bidding projects and following up on job sites to ensure proper delivery of products. Jake spent 19 years learning the business top to bottom.

In January of 2012 he accepted an offer with another local distributor where he managed a Division of Exterior Products and Outside Sales.

In early October of 2016 Jake fulfilled a life long passion to serve his community and open his own business; HomeWise Roofing and Exteriors.

“ After years of hands on experience, I am excited to provide family, friends, and all homeowners with the type of products and superior service I would want for myself.”
