Jake came to Mitchell Lake Audubon Center from Erie, Pennsylvania but has traveled all around the east coast after completing simultaneous degrees in Secondary Social Studies Education and Spanish in addition to minoring in history and oceanography. After graduating and completing multiple field studies in education, English education to Spanish migrants, and even oceanography he decided to put his fieldwork to use in Environmental Education in a number of states including Rhode Island, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina and most recently Maine. He has taught about reptiles, birds of prey, dissections, field equipment of oceanography, team building, educating itself and even sailing. Jake prides himself in his multidisciplinary approach to education and works to inspire as much passion as possible in his students at Mitchell Lake and beyond.

After 12 years of driving progress toward a shared community vision, SA2020, the nonprofit organization, is dissolving. We believe this is the most visionary thing we can do.

Our website is live with our final data release, showing where San Antonio stands on reaching the shared community vision. The data release is accompanied by our final call to action—a policy agenda for City government based on our unique bird’s-eye view of San Antonio.
While SA2020’s operations ended March 28, these resources, along with the last twelve years of our research and stories, will be available to download from our website through September 2024.
