Q&A with Jake
If you could give one piece of advice to someone looking to enter the construction industry, what would it be?
Listen, absorb, and ask questions. Chances are, if you have a question, someone else does too.
What do you enjoy doing outside of your time at Juneau?
I enjoy working on my mobile tiny house, trail running, and traveling.
If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would it be?
I would be in Northern Canada during the Winter, exploring the Arctic Circle with my mobile tiny house.
