Jake McBride

Competitive and driven professional with experience in sales, leadership, coaching, and high-level athletics. I've worked in performance-based environments where building relationships, strong communication, and consistently delivering results are expected every day. Communication and relationship management have always been major strengths of mine, whether working with clients, athletes, families, or business partners.

My background includes high-ticket sales, account management, recruiting, fundraising, and leading collegiate athletes, along with several years competing professionally in golf. I'm comfortable working under pressure, managing relationships, and finding ways to grow both people and business.
