Jacob, originally from Adel, Iowa, is an alum of ADM High School and Iowa State University, where he studied Political Science. He then graduated from The University of Iowa College of Law and worked as a law clerk for the Fifth Judicial Circuit.

In his free time, he enjoys being at home with his dog, Ember, and family, as well as torturing others with his guitar playing. He’s a huge sports fan, collegiate and professional. As he is an alum of the two major in-state universities, he has the luxury of rooting in earnest for either Iowa or Iowa State. That said, he is and always will be a Cyclone. If Iowa lost every game in every sport each year, Jacob would be satisfied.
