Jacob fell in love with running in middle school after trying just about every other sport. Jacob eventually realized cross country was the first sport he was good at, and it stuck from there! Jacob started his college career at Mississippi State before transferring to Missouri – St.Louis. He enjoyed being the captain of the track and cross country teams throughout both his undergraduate and graduate studies.
In addition to running, Jacob loved coaching cross country and track at a local school in St. Louis, building the running culture at his school, and engaging with the running community through the local running store he worked at. Jacob’s largest and most daunting goal today is to break 30 in the 10k – one that still keeps him up at night for many reasons. On top of that, Jacob hopes to break 1:05 in the half marathon and 2:25 in the marathon. Outside of running, Jacob is a management consulting analyst for Accenture
