Meet Jake

“Through my ignorance, I was viewing their guidance as a sign of giving up when in fact what my peer mentor was actually doing was preparing me for the inevitable.”

Jake Thomas was apprehensive about speaking to a peer mentor when he was first injured but with time, things changed. Jake’s now thriving and loving life with his fantastic family, ensuring he makes plenty of time to hit the lake for some water skiing whenever possible.
