Jake has worked tirelessly to keep up with the startup and service requirements throughout a time of very explosive growth in systems installed in his area of responsibility. He very quickly became a highly valued resource for Brigham Oil (now Statoil) which led Statoil to purchase many more measurement systems and retrofit systems. As resources were limited in North Dakota, Jake would forego vacations and weekend plans to serve the client and maintain Valin’s interests. In addition to his incredible work ethic, Jake is a patient man who never complains. He never speaks a harsh or critical word about anyone. In a world filled with self-promotion and aggrandizement, Jake’s humble character is exceptional. Jake will no doubt argue that someone else is more deserving of this award. This is a special man and I’m grateful to be a teammate of Jake’s.
