Jake Vincent

 Jake grew up in rural northwest Illinois, where his father instilled in him a lifelong love for the outdoors, and fishing.  The summers of his youth were filled with wading creeks for smallmouth bass.  After high school Jake joined the Army, where he worked primarily in logistics before an injury ended this military career.  After returning home he studied fisheries biology at Western Illinois University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in zoology. Jake now lives in Alabama and works at Auburn University while simultaneously working on his MBA.  He really appreciates Alabama’s aquatic diversity and while not at work he is usually fishing.
