If you live in Avery County, chances are that you have had your day made by Jake Costner. Born and raised in the mountains, Jake loves John Deere, riding John Deere equipment with his Pap, working on the golf course with his dad, visiting Tweetsie Railroad, and making sure that every horse he meets gets a lot of love! Jake’s heart is as big as his (almost constant) ear to ear grin. He is a friend to all and shares the experience of what others are feeling. If you are happy so is Jake but if you are sad, Jake is even sadder and will do anything to make you feel better. He truly is what many people refer to him as, “An Angel on Earth.”
