Jake Thomas

Jake Thomas was born in Hamilton Ontario Canada to parents Catherine Ford and Ian Thomas a Juno Award winning Musician/actor. He is a nephew to Dave Thomas the actor/comedian from SCTV behind Bob & Doug Mackenzie. Jake studied recorded music production in college and also graduated with a degree in film. Jake began producing action sport videos at an early age which lead to the incorporation of Riley Lake Productions Inc. producing projects for film and television. Over the years Jake has honed his skills as a producer, director, cinematographer, drone pilot and editor on countless projects. His dynamic personality inevitably led to his role as host on the TV series "The World of Wakeboarding" as well as "Roadside Attractions" which he also produced, directed and edited. In 2017 a motor vehicle accident and subsequent spinal cord injury left Jake confined to a wheelchair which hasn't slowed him down one bit. Although slightly less mobile, he is busier than ever producing, shooting, directing and editing projects for film, television and the internet. He has been married to Jenny Thomas since 2000 and together they have 4 children.
