Originally from Cato, Mississippi, Jake graduated from Park Place Christian Academy in Pearl and went on to earn both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Accounting from Mississippi State University. His time studying accounting was valuable, but he later recognized that his professional path would take a different course

His love for the outdoors started on his family’s land and grew even stronger after spending several years working at a marina. That connection to the land and outdoor lifestyle is what drew him to Tom Smith Land and Homes, where he’s able to blend his background with his passion for helping others find the perfect property.
