MEET THE TEAM | JAKE TRUJILLO

Join us in welcoming one of our newest team members at Casey Peterson, LTD, Jake Trujillo. He joined us at the beginning of December as an IT Systems Tech.

Jake was born and raised in Rapid City. He’s currently enrolled at Black Hills State University, pursuing a bachelor’s degree in accounting with a minor in management information systems.

Accounting wasn’t Jake’s first choice. Originally, he went to school to become a nurse anesthetist. After realizing nursing wasn’t for him, he still felt the need to help people. That led him to dental hygiene, but that didn’t excite him as much as he hoped it would. Jake then earned an associate’s degree in applied health science and decided that was the end of his medical education. He then considered accounting, after remembering that his mother suggested it years ago. (According to Jake, “moms are always right.”) He started taking business classes and loved it.

In his rare free time, Jake loves being outside, specifically hiking, going to the lake, or working on cars.
