I'm Jake Parrillo. This is my website.

I'm Jake Parrillo and I'm using this space here on the Web as a journal of sorts. I'm a 45 year old father of three.

We live out in Downers Grove - in the Western Suburbs of Chicago. I work at Edelman, am an Xoogler and a former Village Trustee.I'm pizza-crazy, a Disney Dad and a gardener. I (sometimes) post links and videos over at at www.parrillo.info.

A note about this blog:

This blog has been published since early 2004 - and contains two decades-worth of writing, musings, photos, ideas and general nonsense. Twenty years of stuff that popped into my head and spilled out via my keyboard. That means that SOME of the posts, images and various what-have-yous that you may come across on this Website may not reflect my current thinking, current views or even the ways I would talk about or write about the topic or idea today.

Where else you can find me on the Web
