Jake Sicilano

Tech Transfer Specialist

Jake moved to Sarasota in 2005 and has always had a love for the ocean and the flora and fauna residing in it. Before coming to Mote, he worked for a Technology company on the sales team and while he valued the experience, he knew he wanted his career to have a greater purpose. When he is not working at Mote, Jake loves spending time with family and friends who reside in Sarasota, traveling to new places, and spending time near the water.
