Author: Jake Amos-Christie

Howdy, I'm Jake Amos-Christie, a true cowboy in my roots 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. I have a fair and straightforward attitude, focusing on stories that matter to Oregonians, from agricultural advancements, camping, hunting and farming tips, to sports and political issues. 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 Oregon prosper as a state and a community, and I strive to contribute to that through my work.
