Hey, y'all! Happy to keep this going as this is fun to get to know each other a bit more. I think this is 28 but the one before me was 17 so was confused. Edit - it's 27!
Name is Jake, 34 yo and live with my wife and 4 yo son in Lexington, VA. Born in Lexington and raised in Natural Bridge Station, VA. My wife is an attorney and grad of Washington and Lee law. I graduated from VT class of 2012 and majored in Poli Sci. My dad was VT class of '74 so always wanted to be a Hokie. If the question arises - no I don't know coach Pry personally, but know many people he went to high school with here at the old Lex High. Everyone here is super excited for him and he even brought a bunch of his staff (Marve, Bowen, etc) to have lunch here at the Palms a few months ago while coming back from a recruiting visit with Matthews I believe in Harrisonburg. That was the talk of the town.
Also of Lexington celebrity for music people, saw the band Baroness rise from here to stardom. John Baizley is the brother in law of a good friend of mine from high school. He personally sent me a package in like 2005 with their first two demos, stickers, and a shirt that I've never seen elsewhere and still have. Love rooting for them.
My first work experience out of college was with Devils Backbone brewery just as they were growing. Really cool time and learned a ton about the beer industry, still a lot of good friends there. I was pursuing a law career myself but ended up working in local government which had many unique twists and turns for me. Also have some stories there. Met my wife while she was in law school at Macados in Lex and now have a son and a baby on the way! I now work in the non-profit world as a finance advisor for environmental projects. Work with water/wastewater/stormwater infrastructure and carbon credit projects. Funny story - went to a big Biochar conference in CA earlier this year and met a former VT professor who lives close by. Hokies everywhere!
As far as hobbies, other than VT sports, big into music. Have been playing guitar for over 20 years and play locally on and off with the Late Night Stumblers from Lexington. Went to high school with most of those guys, also play acoustic shows with their frontman Bryce at various places. Also big into history as well, especially early American/colonial and Civil War (especially growing up in Lexington). My family on my dad's side are all from Nelson County, VA so have always been interested there in the history and Hurricane Camille in 1969. The band I play with put out an awesome song "it's Coming Down" about just that. Will likely be playing some music over there at a brewery or two this summer if you're passing by.
And with that, fire away! I also have a good memory of VT football games from 95-present so if we want to talk fine details there, all for it!
