Jake Good started as The Muskokan summer reporter in 2003 and liked it so much he refused to leave.
Originally from England, he graduated from The University of Leeds with a BA Honours in English Literature and Theatre Studies. He started his journalism career in 1998 at the Ipswich Evening Star covering the local football (soccer) team before moving to Scarborough (the original Viking settlement in north east England – not the suburb of Toronto) to work at The Evening News.
He then returned to Canada, where he had spent his childhood, and had such a great time interviewing interesting people in Muskoka that he came back in 2004 and 2005. The company then realized his many talents and offered him a full time position. He accepted it readily.
In September 2005 he caught a huge bass while camping; in July 2006 he bought a house in Bracebridge; in November 2007 he is becoming a dad; he is getting married in September 2008.
