Jake started his automobile career working for a small town automobile repair shop in the South East. After working there for almost a decade, he decided to try his hand on the flip side of the coin and got a job as an auto appraiser for a large insurance company. Using the experience from both sides, he understands the needs of not only the consumers, but the auto body shops and the insurance companies. It’s a love triangle with many complex problems.

Jake is able to lay his head down at night knowing he has always written an unbiased estimate that would bring the vehicle back to pre-loss condition. He does his best to represent all three participants in the process, the customer, the insurer and the body shop by writing a fair estimate.
