Jake is a very hard worker and very responsible. I've been impressed with his ability to juggle his academics while at the same time running a successful business. One of his greatest strengths is his creativity and his ability to think critically. He's easy to work with and does well in group projects. In his senior capstone project, he and his group won the main marketing competition. The judges were professionals from the prestigious advertising agency, Chiat/Day. He with his team were able to come up with an impressive strategy based on solid research. His contributions were integral to the success of the campaign. I highly recommend Jake.

It is first of all respectable that Jake made a business, such as Muse Music, work in, what was especially at the time, a town anxious to see his kind of business utterly fail. He has always been easy to work with, and eager to be a possible solution to my many kinds of production needs.

Jake was a result driven audio engineer that wasn't content until I heard what I wanted to hear. He always had superb creative input and gave great advice to help me find the sound I was looking for. Jake was also the manager / owner of a music venue where I performed frequently. I always enjoyed playing at his venue, because he kept it feeling like it was musician owned. That means he never stopped respecting the musicians that played there. On one occasion I won a free studio recording from jake through a competition he held, I learned something about integrity as he spent many hours over the awarded time-span making sure that the final product was amazing!

While consulting with RawData, I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Jake. Jake is a true gentlemen and an extremely bright individual, with a command of software systems, data analytics and marketing. When Jake would speak, you would be sure to listen as his comments and observations were always well thought out, relevant and insightful. If a second opinion was warranted on materials produced for customers, I always sought Jake out for that feedback. Jake is a pleasure to work with and would be an asset to any team.

Mark Heaton
Lead Principal, Allata
Jake shines among his peers. He is not only generally more industrious, mature and
intelligent, but also a strong team player. He has the unique ability to be both engaging
and disarming at the same time. Jake seeks out growth opportunities. He is not afraid of his weaknesses because he is confident enough to wrestle them into strengths. Jake is not a floater. Un-intimidated by his surroundings, he dove in head-first and quickly became one of our best interns. During this short period, Jake built sincere relationships with our team members and is
both well respected and well liked. Refreshingly, Jake has little ego. He takes criticism on board and pro-actively works to change. I have seen him do this in many cases.
I can highly recommend Jake to you.

Jake Haws is a creative businesss person who draws on his many talents to get the job done. As a student ambassador, Jake became the face of the business school to hundreds of prospects as they considered applying to the dual engineering/MBA program at the University of Utah. He was a front-end source of information to prospects, and on the back end he helped promote the program and provide analytics about applicants. I'm sure Jake will apply similar talent to whatever he does.

I was the lead singer of an alternative rock band that performed several times at Muse Music, owned by Jake Haws, in Provo, UT. Jake is always ready and willing to help with anything you need. In addition to being helpful, he also has a very down-to-earth personality. It's nice to know that you won't experience any more drama than you need to when you're already feeling stressed. I would highly recommend anyone to work with Jake.

Drew Kimball
Director of Financial Planning and Analysis, FinditParts
I went to graduate school with Jake. The thing that always impressed me about Jake was his creativity and innovation. One example came from a presentation he gave to a large group of colleagues. Instead of a power point presentation, Jake found better ways of engaging the audience and conveying the information. He has continued to innovate and impress since the first time I met him and I am sure he will continue to do so in his professional career.
