Some of these included playing the saxophone, fire breathing, fishing, hunting, tinkering, wrestling, and cheerleading. Smart man. He also enjoys the challenge to make or build anything from scratch, even if the parts are all scrap. This passion for creating brought him down to Eastern Washington for welding school. After spending a few years learning a trade, gaining a pretty sweet tan, and making some memories, he decided it was time for yet another change of scenery. From the sunny Tri-cities, he made his way across the state to the rainy, grey Puget Sound, where he received a message on a dating app that simply read, "I bet you have an amazing smile." Jay has a stellar and thoughtful heart, often buying random things for friends because it reminded him of them, or for a good laugh.
