Jake's Bio

I'm 18 years old and a senior at Homewood Flossmoor High School. I am the former news director at my school radio station and the current radio station manager. I love sports. I follow hockey, baseball, football, and basketball. I love to write. I am writing on bleacher report to hopefully get a few articles published and hopefully get some feedback on my writing ability.
