You might see a familiar face behind the front desk at the Juneau Empire.
Jake Walker joined the Empire to fill the role of inside sales representative. Walker will help the Empire with processing and selling ads — including classified ads and legal notices — and obituaries.
Walker is a graduate of Yaakoosgé Daakahidi High School, class of 2016, and has called Juneau home since he was 5 years old. Originally from Oregon, Jake moved to Juneau with his family, some of whom still reside in town.
When not at work, Walker enjoys video games.
“You could call me a gamer. I’m online a lot,” he said, but noted that during stretches of better weather he also enjoys the outdoors.
He enjoys ultimate Frisbee and before coming to the Empire he worked at Home Depot. He’d like to go back to school he said, and is interested in becoming an engineer.
Walker can be reached at 308-4900 or classified@juneauempire.com.
