A native Floridian who was brought up as a car enthusiast, developing an impressive Hot Wheels collection since his youth. In his free time, Jake can often be found tinkering with vintage cars in his garage or participating in amateur sportscar racing alongside his father.
Jake’s passion for cars began with a dream of following in his father's footsteps and becoming a racecar driver. This dream eventually led him to a successful and extensive career in the collision industry, dating back to May of 2000. Jake credits his father as one of the biggest influences in his life and perhaps the sole reason he is the gearhead he is today.
Before joining QCG, Jake spent three years with Lucid Motors as their Senior Operations Manager of the North American Body Repair Program. Now, as Chief Revenue Officer at QCG, he feels fortunate to be a part of another team that shares his dedication to OEM-centric repairs. With his prior experience, Jake offers a wealth of industry knowledge and a unique perspective that helps drive success here at QCG. As Chief Revenue Officer, he will continue strengthening OE partnerships and strategic initiatives.
When he is not immersed in the world of cars, Jake is slowly mastering theatrical makeup, a newfound knack that began as some Halloween fun with his kids. Every year, he takes on the iconic role of the Grinch for their Christmas parade. Look closely, and you might spot some stubborn green paint still behind his ears.
