About J.W.

Jake's background consists of many areas of the arts including acting, dancing, music, and filmmaking. He was a member of the traveling youth jazz dance company, the On Broadway Dancers, and has tap danced since the age of four.

For five years he lead a teen Classic Rock band playing the keyboard, guitar, and singing for live audiences. After studying Film and Broadcast, he moved from Chicago to Los Angeles where he continues to create. He produced a short film called "My Best Girl" that can be streamed on Amazon and IndieFlix.
