His passion for character transformation began in childhood, inspired by his family's dinner theater. He later trained at East Hollywood Film School, where he learned set work, completed his first life cast and molds, and studied under Janelle Turley.

Jake is currently leading the Mask Department for Broadway’s Wicked and contributed to major films like Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Maleficent: Mistress of Evil. He has also department-headed indie hits like Last Stop in Yuma County (dir. Francis Galluppi) and Bloody Bridget (dir. Richard Elfman).
Throughout his career, he has worked alongside Oscar-winning and industry legends like Matthew Mungle, Arjen Tuiten, and Michael McCracken Jr. His talent has been featured in Dark Beauty Mag, Stunning Beauty Mag, and Makeup Designory’s catalog, with SPFX work for Beyoncé, Shotgun Willy, and Derek Pope.
Jake was recognized as 'Makeup Artist of the Year' at the 17th Door Haunt and earned a Best Makeup nomination at the Utah Film Awards for Step Larpers.
