Early years

A military brat, Lake was born in Walnut Creek, California; his father served in the U.S. Air Force and the family lived in various locations, including overseas tours in Turkey and the Philippines. He attended North Central High School in Spokane, Washington, was a three-sport letterman for the Indians (football, basketball, and baseball), and was recognized as a scholar-athlete.[3]

Lake played college football for Eastern Washington University in nearby Cheney as a strong safety from 1995 to 1998, where he was an honorable-mention All-Big Sky recipient, team captain, and named to the All-Big Sky Conference Academic Team.[4] After graduating from Eastern Washington in 1999, Lake worked in ticket sales for the Spokane Indians.[5]

Coaching career

Eastern Washington hired Lake as their defensive backs coach in 2000.[5]

Lake joined the Washington Huskies staff in 2014 as a defensive backs coach under head coach Chris Petersen. This was his second stint at the school after serving one year under Keith Gilbertson in 2004. In 2016, he was promoted to co-defensive coordinator. On December 2, 2019, Petersen announced he would step down as Washington's head coach at the end of the 2019 season and Lake would be his successor.[2]

gollark: You can probably get a CB Gold and Silver, I think.
gollark: But you might want to tell them what you're doing so they don't cancel out of frustration.
gollark: Makes sense, then.
