Blake was raised in the commercial real estate business. Always fascinated with his father’s work managing the Colliers office in Milwaukee, Blake was inspired to follow in his father’s footsteps. Blake graduated from Texas Christian University and earned his Texas Real Estate License. Never one to shy away from people, Blake once spoke in front of 40,000 people at a Milwaukee Brewers game where he won a contest by naming as many superheroes as he could in 20 seconds.
