Jake is a St. Louis native with a B.S. in Finance from the University of Missouri – St. Louis. He began his career with Veterans United as a Loan Specialist, serving Veterans, active-duty service members, and their families. That experience gave him a deep understanding of the VA Home Loan Benefit and prepared him for his role today as a Loan Officer—helping borrowers achieve their dreams of homeownership with confidence and care.
Jake is passionate about building trust and educating his borrowers so they feel comfortable and informed throughout the process. He strives to build lasting relationships and cares about Veterans as people—not just numbers. Although Jake hasn’t served himself, he finds great fulfillment in serving those who have. Inspired by his grandfather’s stories of the Navy during World War II, he carries that same sense of duty and gratitude into every loan he helps close.
Outside of work, Jake and his wife, Emily, love adventuring with their blended family of 5 girls and 1 boy (that poor boy!) and enjoy traveling in their camper, biking, kayaking, hiking, and cooking great meals together. Jake also serves at his local church, teaching Sunday school to 4th and 5th graders, where faith and community play an important role in his life.

Hi, my name is Valarie, and my husband and I had a wonderful journey at Veterans United. Jake, loan officer, was a kind, dependable, and trustworthy support for me. He always had my back when things looked tough, and somehow Jake found a way to solve the all the tough situations. Mason, loan coordinator, was a hard worker and also great at solving possible problems. Brian, my agent, was very patient and considerate during our special house hunting. I'm very appreciative because eventually we found what we wanted. Terrill was resourceful and always ready to make our home search successful. Like Jake, the entire team was hard working, great problem solvers, considerate, great at attention to details and at acquiring discounts and benefits for us. I give Jake and his entire team at Veterans United a A+++.
Jake and the whole team were fantastic!
Jake, Amber , Kat , Joshua and the whole team were knowledgeable, courteous, friendly and committed to making sure our home buying experience was smooth and went off without any problems. They made themselves available for any questions we had and answered all our questions promptly. They are all to be commended on a doing a great job and are all a definite asset to the Veterans United team.
It was super easy and they were very helpful!
It was a detailed process. Personal contact with the team was excellent.
