Jacob earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, a Master of Business Administration, and a Master of Science in Education, all from Thomas College. He is a Financial Wellness Manager at Empeople Credit Union and an Adjunct Business Faculty Member at Thomas College, where he teaches management courses to undergraduate students.
