It's all up to you to come out swinging

You're always dressed to kill, and you feel like you owe it to the world, but you owe it to yourself

About Me

Well, my name is Jake and I live in Ramsey, Minnesota or Crosslake, Minnesota...it really depends on the day. I am a Junior at Saint Cloud State University. My major is Meteorology. I love my family and friends and don't know what I'd do without them. Music is my largest passion. I play guitar and I am in a band with Brian, and Isaac called, "The Count is 3." We are in the process of recording our first full length CD. When I'm not playing music, I am listening to it. Astronomy is another activity that I enjoy doing. Considering there is usually snow on the ground half the year, I snowboard...awesome stuff. Aggressive Sledding, Power-sliding, and hockey are great too. Winter weather is invigorating...I suppose I could say that I'm obsessed with winter storms. Eventually I'd like to become a winter weather expert, but I currently work at Sears Electronics. I plan on getting into a meteorology internship by next fall. Year round, I love to travel extraordinary distances for subtle things haha...road trips are a favorite thing of mine to do. You can contact me through mail at [email protected] or through IM at KingSalmon05...though I'm never on that.
