Blake is the founder and lead agent for Institute for Athletes based in Minneapolis, MN. He is from Hopkins, MN and graduated from U of Wisconsin-Madison. After graduation his love of sports took him to New York City and Los Angeles to learn the sports management world.

Some of his players include, Adam Thielen, Tyler Johnson, Rashod Bateman, Jonathan Allen and Stephen Weatherly. Their marketing arm also represents Harrison Smith.
