Pinball Cannon - Fort Ticonderoga
"Working with Jake has been an absolute pleasure! His expertise in 3D design is truly unmatched, and he went above and beyond to understand the challenges we faced. From the very beginning, Jake took the time to brainstorm creative solutions with us, ensuring every detail was thoughtfully considered. He is an exceptional communicator, keeping us updated at every stage of the project and always welcoming feedback. The final product—a stunning 3D cannon and carriage for a pinball machine on artillery—is nothing short of extraordinary. It has become a standout feature in our exhibit and will see heavy use by thousands of museum guests each year. We couldn't be happier with the outcome and look forward to working with Jake on future projects!"

Audio Guestbook
"My partner and I had several DIY projects on our wedding to-do list to make the day special and personal for us and our guests. We loved the idea of an audio guest book but couldn’t find any in the area and we don’t have the technical expertise to build our own. Jake eagerly accepted the challenge of modifying our unique vintage phone into an audio guest book that we now have to keep for future fun and events! He was very responsive and communicative, and approached the project thoughtfully, thinking through all the little details. He spent extra time and care by putting together thorough "how-to" instructionals both for use of the phone and potential troubleshooting. He was a pleasure to work with and we can't wait to use this on our big day."

Owl Holder - NBNC
"Working with Jake on these owl carriers was great! The design filled a big need for our saw-whet owl research project, and he even incorporated aesthetic and ergonomic elements that went way beyond what we hoped for in this device. Jake's design fit the bill perfectly for transporting these delicate owls. So well, in fact, that over a dozen other owl research stations across the country now use these canisters."

Name Tags - FCNRCD
"It was a pleasure working with Jake! Throughout this project, he listened to our ideas, communicated clearly, and delivered beautifully designed wood name tags right on time. I appreciated his attention to detail, collaborative approach, and flexibility—he was always willing to adapt to changes and went the extra mile to make sure everything turned out just right. Our staff and board members are excited to use these name tags at our events to show a unified, identifiable, beautiful brand that people can associate with the Franklin County NRCD."

"It's quite a privilege and an extraordinary opportunity for myself and my 6yo son to participate in a private lesson with Jake. My son, Eddie, is precocious and driven to learn about robotics/electronics/engineering but I don't have the knowledge and experience to share. At his age few resources exist. Jake is a good teacher and easy to be around. Both he and I will learn a great deal from Jake and may have found an important place (at generator) to learn and build. Generator is endlessly inspiring and clearly attracts good people."
