We had met all the way back in high school, in passing mostly, through mutual friends. Over the years I got to know Jake slowly but even more so when I began attending Tuesdays game nights. He is one of the most intelligent and handy people I have ever met, whether he is putting up a microwave over a stove or executing the nastiest multi turn set up in a game of commander or the vast knowledge he has from his years of being apart of renaissance fairs. While I do wish that I would have hung out and gotten to know Jake sooner, I am elated to have him around now and to have him apart of this massive day.
