Sorry, is the man named Ballew definitely his birth father? I know the name is also on Sandvig’s birth certificate.
I found an article where he says he visits his father Rob Ballew and his sisters in Clovis, Ca. When you google him his sisters’ names pop up, and they are Rob Ballew’s daughters’ names (except Google gives them the Sandvig last name, but it’s actually Ballew). One of his great-grandmother’s obituaries has 2 Jakes as great-grandchildren, and I’m guessing he’s one of them.
