Jake volunteered his time and talents to support the environmental education nonprofit Grades of Green by creating a video about one of our programs. Jake not only produced an outstanding video completely pro-bono, but approached the project with enthusiasm, creativity, and dedication. Jake was very professional and reliable, he was a pleasure to work with, and very talented in his profession. Jake did a great job of truly listening to what we wanted, and created a video that will greatly help our organization in furthering our mission.
