On February 20th Jake was presented with the G. Andy Runge Ambassador Award by the Mexico, Missouri Chamber of Commerce. This is an award presented to an individual or business who has brought great statewide publicity to the Mexico, Missouri area.

"I am so very proud to be awarded this by the Mexico Area Chamber of Commerce! Growing up in that area learning how to play music in the local Oprys and listening to KWWR really set me up for success in Nashville. I will always be thankful to the people there and will always do my best to give back when I can. It truly is an honor to be recognized by the city. What a great evening!!" - Jake
