Jacob’s passion for serving others began in the fire service where he served as an EMT-A/firefighter for five years. He felt God’s calling of service to continue, but instead in the finance world where he could build deeper, long-term relationships with clients versus the more acute nature of relationships in fire service. Jacob has been with Thrivent since 2018 and lives in Bellingham, Washington, with his wife, Annie, and two daughters. On the weekend, you can find them spending time as a family doing anything outdoors, biking, walking and playing pickleball.
