Jake Amos-Christie

Howdy, I'm Jake Amos-Christie, a true cowboy at heart who grew up on a ranch in Ashland, Oregon. I pursued my education at Oregon State University, earning a dual major in Journalism and Agricultural Farming. My upbringing instilled in me a strong work ethic and a deep love for the land, which I bring into my journalism. Though I've now settled in California, my focus remains on covering stories that matter to the communities of both Oregon and California. From agricultural advancements, camping, hunting, and farming tips to sports and political issues, I aim to keep folks informed. When I'm not writing, you'll find me riding horses, working on the ranch, or enjoying a good country music concert. My goal is to see both Oregon and California prosper as states and communities, and I strive to contribute to that through my work.
