Jacob, a towering figure at 6'4", was born and raised in Rochester, Michigan, where his athletic prowess and natural leadership abilities were evident from an early age. Basketball, in particular, captured his heart, and he earned a scholarship to play at Northwood University. However, after one year, Jacob felt an inexplicable calling, which led him to re-evaluate his priorities.
The decision to leave college basketball behind was not taken lightly, but Jacob's passion for entertainment ultimately prevailed. His first acting class was a transformative experience, and he soon discovered that acting came naturally to him. Recognizing the importance of a solid education in nurturing his talent, Jacob auditioned for The American Academy of Dramatic Arts (AADA) and was accepted into their two-year training program.
The intensive training at AADA was instrumental in Jacob's growth as an actor and an individual. He went on to participate in the Advanced Company Program, performing in four plays, including "Really Really" by Paul Downs Colaizzo, "Comedians" by Trevor Griffiths, "Heaven and Hell (on Earth): A Divine Comedy" by Actors Theatre of Louisville, and "Angelique" by Lorena Gale.
After completing three years of rigorous training, Jacob is now poised and eager to embark on his professional acting career. The values of hard work, respect, and honor instilled in him from a young age continue to drive his ambitions, propelling him forward with unwavering dedication and passion.
