My passion is people.  I fundamentally believe that flourishing communities begin with thriving individuals.  For the last ten years, I have devoted my energy to serving youth, families, and people experiencing homelessness, as well as helping individuals and teams work better together.  

Now I want to serve the people of District Two.  Rather than continuing to be set aside, our neighborhoods can be places where people thrive!  Our community can be that place where moms and dads feel supported and safe in raising their children, where all live in homes-not just houses, and everyone has clean air to breath, clean water to drink, and is not afraid to walk down the street.  

I will bring a renewed energy and fresh perspective to city council that supports you. Together, we can make our community flourish. 

Jacob, 33, was raised in West Kittanning, about an hour’s drive north of the city. In 2010 he graduated from Gannon University and went on to earn his master’s degree in theology from the Augustine Institute in Denver, Colorado. You can probably catch Jacob walking Theo, his eighty-pound labradoodle, in Crafton Heights or often down at the Point.
