From an early age, Blake knew he wanted to be a nurse and started working as a patient transporter at 17. He graduated with a BSN in 2014 from UCF in Orlando Florida. As an advocate from the very beginning, he was also the President of the Florida Nursing Student Association.

Following nursing school, Nurse Blake worked in level 1 trauma centers around the country in a variety of nursing roles.
However, while in nursing school, Nurse Blake began creating Facebook videos as a way to de-stress and share his nursing experience in a comedic way. His videos went viral and connected nurses and nursing students together from around the world. He now takes his comedy to stages around the world bringing nurses together through his humor and inspiration. with over 120,000 tickets sold of his 2021-2022 PTO Comedy Tour, Nurse Blake is ready to hit the stage again with a whole new show this year hitting over 100 cities.
