Jacob was raised in Chicago and began his career in the Chicagoland theater scene. His first project was on screen with Drunkboat, starring alongside John Malkovich, John Goodman, and Dana Delaney, which spurred him to move to Los Angeles. Within six months of being in Los Angeles he booked the lead in his first pilot audition for Greek, which ran for four years with syndication on Netflix. Since the finale of the show, Jacob continued his showcase across a wide range of projects. He recorded voice overs on King of the Hill and Surf's Up, guest starred on CSI, House, and Transformers: The Last Knight, worked on a variety of new media projects, including Legendary Digital's first acquired film The Hive, and booked six national commercials last year, a highlight being Subaru, directed by BAFTA award winner Lance Acord. In his free time, he has gone behind the camera to produce the short film Hidden America about homelessness in Sacramento and comedic pilots, Scrappers and Action Dan.
