Hailing from a small town in New Hampshire, Jacob was first introduced to the game of golf at age six, by his mother, Kim. At seven years old, he started competing in the Monadnock region's local junior tournaments and has been playing ever since. Besides golf, Jacob grew up playing baseball and soccer and snowboarding during the New England winters.

Jacob finished runner-up in the 2019 New Hampshire Amateur Championship hosted at Portsmouth Country Club, in tandem with a top-25 finish in the New England Amateur.
As much as Jacob is a fierce competitor, his trust for knowledge is equal. He works with Mario Guerra—Head Professional at Quaker Ridge Golf Club and Master Instructor at Jim McClean Golf School in Miami for five years—where the two of them always look for ways to keep getting better.
