jake peacock

This born and raised Houstonian studied computer science and neuroscience at Rice University. Jake pursues his interests in the human brain and in programming in the hopes of one day creating an artificially intelligent pet dog ( not really ). In his free time, Jake enjoys mixing music, planning social events, painting and teaching. He greets each day optimistic and energetic - many say in a fashion similar to a golden retriever

Jake's vision is to bring small business into the digital age. Not just with websites but with tools to better connect with customers & users. As a Venture For America Fellow, he recognizes the essential nature of entrepreneurship in the U.S. economy.

IN A FREE HOUR, WHEN OUR POWER OF CHOICE IS UNTRAMMELLED AND WHEN NOTHING PREVENTS OUR BEING ABLE TO DO WHAT WE LIKE BEST, EVERY PLEASURE IS TO BE WELCOMED AND EVERY PAIN AVOIDED. BUT IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES AND OWING TO THE CLAIMS OF DUTY OR THE OBLIGATIONS OF BUSINESS IT WILL FREQUENTLY OCCUR THAT PLEASURES HAVE TO BE REPUDIATED AND ANNOYANCES ACCEPTED. THE WISE MAN THEREFORE ALWAYS HOLDS IN THESE MATTERS TO THIS PRINCIPLE OF SELECTION: HE REJECTS PLEASURES TO SECURE OTHER GREATER PLEASURES, OR ELSE HE ENDURES PAINS TO AVOID WORSE PAINS.
