About the Founder:

I (E. Jake Gamble) am the founder and owner of Leadership Support Services, LLC. I have a passion for helping individuals and organizations overcome self-defeating behaviors, dysfunction, and failure. 

I am an eternal optimist who has found freedom through spirituality, education, personal development, self-discipline, and a commitment to excellence. I love helping others find that same freedom.  

Education:

I have a BA in Psychology and Criminal Justice from Indiana Wesleyan University (IWU). I also have a Master's  Degree in Management from IWU. I am a voracious reader of Leadership and Personal Development materials.

Experience:

I have been an Adult Educator for twelve years and have taught over twenty-five course titles at the University level for five different institutions. I have worked with literally thousands of students during their pursuit of excellence. I have taught at the Associate, Bachelor, and Graduate (by invitation) levels. I have also taught on-line courses as well as independent study modules. I currently spend the majority of my time teaching business courses to Indiana inmates at two different prisons. I also do some adjunct teaching for a University in Fort Wayne, IN.

Prior to teaching, I had a long history as a social worker, primarily in the Mental Health System. I also had some experience as a social worker in addictions and geriatrics. It is through the struggles I have seen in others, and those I have experienced myself, that I developed a passion for overcoming obstacles and pursuing success. With a "gift for gab", professional affirmation, and encouragement for the underdog, I began to answer the call on my life.

My teaching has now expanded to conferences, consulting, keynote speeches, and individual assistance.  

Spiritual Beliefs:

I am thankful for a God that loves ME as I am. His Grace and Mercy have been sufficient time and time again.

On a Personal Note:

I've been married for almost ten years to my beautiful wife, Connie. We have a blended family; Brandon and Patrick are my wonderful teenage step-sons, Presley is my beautiful teenage daughter.  I was born in Michigan and have resided in Indiana for thirty years. I love to read. I also enjoy playing the guitar, weightlifting, singing, fishing, and the privacy of a country home. When I'm not working, I like to spend time with my family, or play with the family pets. Life is good!
