Jake’s journey into gaming began in 2011 while studying at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. What started as a casual interest quickly developed into a lifelong passion for E-sports. After moving to Oʻahu in 2016, Jake found a way to combine his love of gaming with mentorship. For the past five years, he has served as a volunteer League of Legends coach at ʻIolani School, helping students grow not only as players but also as teammates and leaders. His coaching philosophy emphasizes discipline, communication, and adaptability—skills that resonate both in and out of the game.
