Jake is the Co-Founder and Executive Director of Next Gen Men – a nonprofit he began building at 26 with two friends over a decade ago, that has grown into an internationally recognized organization working across Canada and the United States. He is passionate about creating a positive vision for masculinity – toward a future where boys and men experience less pain and cause less harm.

He has brought conversations about boys, men, and masculinities to everyone from the United Nations to Fortune 500 CEOs to the man on the corner. He co-authored A Kids Book About Masculinity and co-created Cards for Masculinity, a facilitation tool with thousands of decks in use by parents and practitioners around the world. A social entrepreneur with an MSc from the London School of Economics, he became publisher of Voice Male in 2024 – a pro-feminist magazine founded in 1983 – taking up the torch from one generation and passing it to the next.
