Jake was born in a small town on Long Island, just outside NYC. Starting from the age of 8, he fell in love with pretending and embarked on a long road down a path that brought him to where he is today. Throughout his childhood he appeared in many national commercials, radio spots, and films and slowly found himself immersed in the professional world of acting. At age 10 he was featured in his first Off Broadway musical titled Take Me Along. The show ignited his love for theatre and the rest was history.
He graduated from UCLA’s Ray Bolger Musical Theatre Program in 2018. #GOBRUINS Now familiar with both coasts, he spends his personal and professional life hopping between Los Angeles and New York.
Most recently, you might have seen him around the US and Canada as Dmitry in the Broadway First National Tour of Anastasia the Musical!
You can catch him on TV in AppleTV’s series WeCrashed and Amazon’s new series HARLEM!
