Jake Bishop is a native of the Rochester area and has had a long history of helping the community through volunteering and outreach programs. Campaigning for congressional and mayoral candidates sparked his passion for inspiring others and speaking publicly.

In 2015, Jake was arrested for trafficking and distributing 132pds of marijuana which led to an arrest for distribution/possession. After a period of incarceration, Jake has worked tirelessly to help the community and considers himself a reformed felon, as well as an advocate for recovery.

In 2019 he formed Rising Up Recovery to inform the public about the opioid crisis and help those suffering from addiction by providing awareness and being active in the community with the resources to help.

Jake discusses recovery and addiction with politicians, healthcare workers, former substance users, and community activists to inform the public/educate the public.

Jake lives happily in Brighton with his German Shepherd Ally and enjoys cooking, weightlifting at the JCC, and spending time with his lovely girlfriend Dawn and her two daughters.

His favorite quote “If you treat me good I will treat you better”

Using his personal experiences and blunt attitude, Jake hopes to prevent others from going down this same path.

Rising Up Recovery can be heard on Mondays from 1 to 2 pm.
