Summary

Jake took over last year as the voice of the Humber Hawks, sitting in the public address chair for Humber Hawk home games. This is the same chair that has featured broadcasting greats such as Herbie Kuhn of the Toronto Raptors and Aris Xenarios of Toronto FC. His experience, and more so, the outstanding job he did, has spurred him on to heading to the Radio Broadcasting Program at Humber College. He has returned to the broadcast chair this year and has taken over an even larger role. Just recently, he was the voice of the 2016 OCAA Men’s Baseball Championship hosted by Humber and competed for at Etobicoke’s own Connorvale Park. He can also be heard on the live streaming of all Hawks home volleyball and basketball games.

Jake has an incredible sporting background to support his broadcasting endeavors. Prior to his current program, he was a student in the three-year Sport Management Program. As an athlete, he is entering his fourth year on the Hawks Cross Country Team and was crowned a national champion a few short years ago.
