Keynotes
I often felt “not good enough” for a home, job, car, family, friends, or love. I looked different and I was treated differently because I was born with a disability that I never asked for.
Confused, bullied, and abused, these moments sent my soul into a dark spiral that nearly consumed me. In the darkness, I chose to endure and slowly re-built myself.
I want to help maximize your potential, I did it and so can you.
Work with me and I will:
-
Show you how to view challenges/setbacks/failures as instructions for improvement to achieve goals
-
Reveal how your compassion and care in small moments matters because it changes lives, like mine.
-
Provide the tools that I use to keep charging to live happier, healthier life

"Jacob was energetic and engaging with the audience.
I received feedback from many attendees that they left the event feeling inspired and positive. Can't wait to have Jacob back for another event!"
Meghan Fletcher, ADA ERG Co-Chair
My mission, by speaking to 1,500 schools, companies, and organizations by 2035, is to take our world from a place of exclusion to one of inclusion.

Who I've worked with
For Professionals
Being born with a severe disability means I've climbed a Mount Everest of problems since day one, and yet I've thrived to become one of the best adaptive athletes on earth, and a top inclusion expert.
Work with me and I will:
-
Show you how the power of inclusion can transform your workplace, campus, or community into a productive place of belonging for all
-
Get us out of our comfort zones to confront difficult problems like exclusion, bullying, isolation, lack of self-esteem, and purpose with the goal of building a healthier, inclusive space
-
Provide you with a shared governance system where everyone from top to bottom feels heard, cared for, and empowered to maximize their potential.
For Students
I share the tools I used to set and achieve my goals. These same tools can help students define and achieve their own success. If I can live a fulfilling, successful life, they can too; because I was once a student just like them.
Through this step-by step process, students will learn the 'What & How' approach:
-
Effective Communication: Learn networking tools to integrate into their community.
-
Creative Skills: Inspire creativity to build skill sets using available resources.
-
Decision-Making: Empower decision-making skills to face challenges through SEL tools in daily life.
