About Jake Seawolf

I helped double the size of a brand. That kind of growth doesn\'t happen by accident — it happens through disciplined storytelling, strategic content, and an obsessive focus on audience connection. For the past four years at My Patriot Supply, I\'ve led video content that drives real revenue: a 500% lift in social engagement, 70% increase in website traffic, and a direct line from the content I produce to the company\'s valuation. Before that, I spent over a decade as an NCO in the 19th Special Forces Group (Airborne), building and leading the Combat Camera Section from two soldiers to eight. I deployed to Afghanistan, ran 300+ combat patrols, served as a squad interpreter in Pashtu, and learned that communication under pressure — whether in a war zone or a boardroom — is the highest-leverage skill a leader can have. I\'ve done TV interviews. I\'ve filmed Airborne operations in Hawaii and Alaska. I\'ve shot high-speed phantom camera sequences at Dugway Proving Ground. I\'ve managed in equipment, written performance evaluations, and built the training programs that developed my team\'s careers. Today I also serve as my ward\'s Emergency Preparedness Specialist — coordinating household readiness, leading response planning, and building the kind of community resilience that matters when things go wrong. What I bring to a Director or VP-level role: Proven ability to translate brand strategy into measurable growth Military-trained leadership and composure under pressure Full-stack creative production (concepting → camera → post) On-camera and media experience (TV interviews, public affairs) Crisis communications and emergency preparedness expertise If you\'re looking for someone who can lead a content operation, build a brand from the inside out, and perform at a high level when the stakes are real — let\'s talk.
