I knew very quickly after I arrived in the US in 1984 that I had to change my name. Nobody could say Joachim*, and the closest most people came pronouncing my name was to very quickly say “yourwelcome.” OK, my Ex had a name already made up for me and informed me that from now on I would be
“Jake”.
And that’s who I am since then. I studied Forestry in one of the most beautiful cities in Germany, Freiburg im Breisgau, which is also called
—technically not quite correct —
the capital of the Black Forest. I also studied Forest Management at the University of Maine. If all that didn’t scare you too much, call me at

or send an email to J.M@jmforestry.com *Even so one famous namesake was Jesus’ grandfather,
St. Maria’s father. |
