Jake Palumbo
I grew up in Orlando, Florida and moved to Allentown, Pennsylvania in high school. I went to school at the University of Pennsylvania and studied Communications and Creative Writing and graduated in 2010. After saving some money working for a moving company in Boston after school, I travelled through South America for a while. I came back and started working in advertising for the Travel Channel in New York City. Last summer, I moved out to LA and was promoted to a position for HGTV and DIY (same company: Scripps Networks). I am leaving my position to pursue writing full time, for better or worse.
In my free time I like to surf, skateboard, make music, and do stand up comedy and occasionally paint (terribly, but its fun). I also love traveling on a shoestring budget and driving across the country.
