Shooting video at Georgia Northwestern Technical College with Dad (Jody). It's a high school welding competition with the one-and-only Matt Hayden leading the event. Judging in progress!

I'm Jake, the worse-looking but bigger son of Jody. I'm taking welding on as a kind of auxiliary skill to go along with renovating vintage campers and RV's, as well as carpentry. My day job is marketing and design for Weldmonger, WelderSkills' sister company.

I'll be around! Good to meet yall!
