President of Team Rubicon. A graduate from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Jake honorably served four years in the United States Marine Corps. He founded Team Rubicon in response to the January 2010 earthquake that devastated Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Team Rubicon unites the skills and experiences of military veterans with medical professionals to deploy vanguard teams that bridge the gap in disaster response.
From his combat experiences as a Marine in Iraq and Afghanistan, former UW football player Jake Wood discovered that he and other vets have developed the perfect skills for service in crisis situations outside of war. Through Team Rubicon, Jake provides a role for our 1.8 million veterans to respond to natural disasters throughout the world, and thus engages a great untapped national resource.
