Hi There!
At the age of 11 (and after attempting many sports), Jacob (he/him) was introduced to the world of theatre and never looked back.
Jacob graduated from North Central College with degrees in Acting & Musical Theatre. In addition, he studied Directing and Classical Voice Performance. During his time at North Central, he appeared in various mainstage productions including Tiny Beautiful Things (Letter Writer #1), Into the Woods (Steward / Jack U/S), and the Collegiate Level Premiere of the musical Renascence (Father) written by Carmel Dean.
After graduating Cum Laude in 2023, Jacob began working professionally in the Chicago Theatre scene. Recent credits include: Y2K: A 90s Musical (Leo U/S; The Annoyance Theatre); First Date (Man 1 & Man 2 U/S); The Gift of the Magi (Digsby, Art, Bootman U/S; Oil Lamp Theater); Jesus Christ Superstar (Ensemble; The Beautiful City Project); and the original cast of new works such as Cover Me (Brett Wyman) and Isolation: A Romance (Ricky; Limelight Theatre Company).
When not onstage, he can be found watching Friends for the 12th time (and counting!), or reading a mystery thriller novel, preferably in his happy place - the Upper Peninsula of Michigan with his family.
