He then decided to focus on
public relations, got a minor in
marketing, and his career began to
take off from there. Blake would
like to establish a full-blown media
department for Weatherford in the
future, but for the time being he
wants to focus on being a great father
to his twins. Some advice he has for
others coming into the field of public
relations is to be open-minded to
different opportunities and be open to
change.

A resident of Parker County for about
10 years now, Jake Link is working
and growing his real estate business
through residential, commercial, farm
and ranch sales.
Jake found his calling in life after
working hard to own his own home
at the age of 23. These days, he
strives to be the best agent he can
be for his clients in the rough and
turbulent real estate market. But if
you don’t see him out selling houses,
you might run in to him when he is
the “very unofficial official coach”
for his kid’s sports teams. Jake loves
to support the community through
active sports programs and riding in
the Parker County rodeo as a member
of the Parker County Sheriff’s Posse.
What motivates Jake is not the
money but being “addicted to the
deal.” His formula to success is
having faith and trust in yourself and
family. Reach for what you want.
“Success is earned,” Jake said, “not
given. So at the end of the day you
have to go get it.”
