Jake Kilgore

Summary

My name is Jake Kilgore, and I am from Houston, Texas. I was born in College Station, Texas in 1987. I then moved to Houston where I grew up. 
I always knew I would come back to College Staion to get a degree from Texas A&M.
 
I live on campus at Texas A&M in the Corps dorms. I am in Parsons Mounted Calvary and spend many hours a week riding my horse. I also am an 
employee for Rec Sports as a Head Lifeguard. 
 
In the future I want to use my Construction Science degree to go into the construction industry. Hopefully I will manage large projects and 
build skyscrapers or hospitals. I also want to have time to go wake boarding and fishing as much as possible.
