Personal Details

Bio

Jacob is an acclaimed speaker, author, business owner and entrepreneur. Jacob came from very humble beginnings being on welfare all of his childhood and into early adulthood. His mother died when he was 8, never knew his biological father and was adopted by his grandmother. He dropped out of high school joined gangs became an alcoholic, and was at one point homeless. After the loss of his marriage Jacob hit rock bottom. However Jacob continued to defy the odds and decided that his past wasn't going to become his future, he started working on himself reading any and every book on self help and self development. It became an obsession. He started many businesses, and now speaks at schools across the country. He became a published author with his book - 35 Principles For Lasting Life Change. This book was designed to empower any and every person looking for change with the principles needed for success. He has been in pursuit of the best version of himself ever since. Thank you for taking the time to see if Jacob is a good fit for your next speaking engagement.
