Congratulations to Jake for his successful career at Iowa. :)

In all seriousness, though, I do wish Jake much success in the future. If anyone could use a break and some good fortune, it's Jake.
 
Looking at who their other clients are...I hope that Jake is their first to break thru, I have said since he came here he had the skills to be successful at that level.
