Jake Mortimore

My name is Jakob Mortimore
I’m known as Jake
I’m from Troy, Michigan
I’m in my third year at Michigan State University, pursuing a degree in Environmental Engineering
This is my first year on staff at Falling Creek
I’ll be teaching backpacking
Early bird or night owl? I’m a night owl
If I had my own late night talk show, who would be my first guest? As a longtime reader of MAD, I would have to go with Sergio Aragones. The man is a legend in the margins.
My favorite holiday is Halloween: it has the best mascot and themes, and trick or treating is always a fun event.
If I could live anywhere in the world for a year, I would choose Patagonia, I don’t think I could possibly grow tired of that place.
What’s my favorite way to get in some exercise? If I can find a group, I love to go rock climbing, but normally the majority of my exercise comes from biking around the campus of MSU.
Fun Fact: I am the president of the chess club up at MSU, feel free to challenge me to a game!
This summer, I want to learn how to find and identify a ton of different critters.
